Clam Sentinel is a real-time malware scanner using ClamWin Antivirus as its engine. The program also has its own system monitor that scans for unknown malware that does not yet have a ClamWin signature. It also detects new drives and monitors these units until the program is closed or until the device is disconnected.
NOTE: There have been no updates to this program since late 2014. You might want to consider using the general purpose Directory Monitor instead (see Execute scripts/applications when events occur, which also provides Clam Sentinel's missing feature of only launching ClamWin within specific folders).

When I decompress Clam Sentinel, I don't see any .ini file. What am I missing?

Thanks for the info, MKonar. I see you carried it over to the ClamWin Portable entry, too. :)
Unfortunately, seems that afterall ClamWinDBUpdate is not adequate for a Sentinel configuration.
I tested it and even after correcting the "clampath=" key inside 'ClamWinPortableDBUpdate.ini', it doesn't work because my executable is 'ClamWin.exe' and not 'ClamWinPortable.exe'; also, it's located in a folder named 'bin', while the \/irus Database files are in a sibling folder named 'db'.
And just FYI, the 'thumbs.db' inside 'rsc' cause Explorer to complain when moving the extracted folder tree as instructed...

@Midas The mkonar.selfip.com link no longer works. (It was a Dyn.com dynamic DNS entry. Sad that they eliminated their free dynamic DNS service ... but I digress.)
You can get to the ClamWinPortableDBUpdate website through either of the following links:
* http://clamup.co.nr (which forwards to)
* http://mkonar.org/projects/clamup/

ClamWin can be heavy on system resources if kept always running -- but it can be stopped and (re)started at will from its tray icon.
I have it scan memory at system start, and then I run it /ad-hoc/ to scan any suspicious files. But then, I'm not relying solely on ClamWin for malware prevention, I also use Winpatrol and (portable) Malware Bytes.

forgot to ask, if the level of protection is comparable to win8 defender or will there be missing something of importance?
i would like to give clamsentinel a try, as it's freeware, portable and hopefully light on ressources.

@Loner, stop abusing the comments section. Post in the Forum if you want to discuss about the entry.
V1.19
Nevermind. I ran ClamSentinel.exe and it created the .ini file for me.
