Halle-fucking-julah, it lives, it lives!

I was very worried this project has basicslly died.

ClamAV still lives, but I think ClamTK is still dead.

I have been using Mint and now Fedora for desktop use. I am not familiar with ClamAV yet in this use.

I have several questions on my mind about it, and why not ask now:

What to use as gui? Is there such a thing? With a quick search I saw a non finished one and one for windows.

How big is the performance hit? I guess depends on settings?

What would be good settings for someone that comes from a Win 10 background? I would like to make it work in the background relatively transparently...
