If you don’t think the virus threat to your Mac is dire enough to spend any money protecting against it, ClamXav will get the job done. It’s based on a well-established open source project (clamav), and provides a decent level of protection (thanks in part to daily updates of its virus definitions). It costs nothing to buy or update (though the author does request donations), so ClamXav is about as cheap as it gets.

ClamXav is a port which includes a graphical user interfaces and has a 'sentry' service which can watch for changes or new files in many cases. There is also an update and scanning scheduler through a cron job facilitated by the graphical interface. ClamXav can detect malware specific to macOS, Unix, or Windows.

For the price, it’s a pretty capable virus scanner. You can easily schedule scans via the built-in scheduler (though you should note that a scheduled scan failed to run when I intentionally put the Mac to sleep at the chosen time). ClamXav did a good job scanning my test system’s hard drive, finding all the malware we threw at it. The program wasn’t fast about it, though: It took more than an hour and a half to scan our 13GB application folder, which Intego VirusBarrier ( ), for example, scanned in 13 minutes.

Unlike other, more polished antivirus apps, ClamXav won’t keep track of which folders it’s already scanned, so re-scanning the same folder will take just as long the second time as it did the first. And while the useful ClamXav Sentry app will scan folders and files in real time, it only worked some of the time in my testing—occasionally it spotted a test virus file immediately, but other times it missed it altogether.

As you might expect from its price, ClamXav doesn’t have the polished look and feel of some of its commercial competitors. Its buttons and fonts aren’t what you’ve come to expect in a OS X app. Drag-and-drop scanning isn’t supported, so you’ll have to navigate through a dialog box each time you want to scan a folder.

If you want more information about malware the program finds, you’ll have to navigate to the Clamav homepage, where you’ll find a searchable database of virus information. Unfortunately, the data you find there may be light on details. Adobe audacity free. A search for Leap-A, for instance, returned one line, simply listing “Trojan.Leap.A.” By contrast, Symantec’s Norton AntiVirus ( ) has a full page of Leap.A information, including screenshots.

Macworld’s buying advice

Clamxav Download

Despite its user interface issues and slow scanning speed, ClamXav will provide a good level of protection for the typical user, and you can’t beat its price. If you don’t want to spend the money on Norton Antivirus or VirusBarrier X4, ClamXav is worth considering, as long as you’re aware of its limitations and quirks.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This version of ClamXav is no longer available, as it’s been superseded by by 1.0.3, which we cover in this review.

Clamxav Review

As much as you might want to believe that your Mac is nigh on invulnerable to viruses, trojans, malware and phishing-based attacks, this simply isn’t the case. Along with well-publicized vulnerabilities that have been exploited such as Flash Player and Java, OS X is still vulnerable to a variety of malware that can make life interesting for both you and your clients.

This is where ClamXav 2, a free application developed by Sourcefire VRT, becomes the greatest thing ever. Lovingly developed and religiously updated by the group of open source developers responsible for the cross-platform ClamAV anti-malware application, ClamXav won’t actively scan incoming downloaded files the way commercial anti-malware suites will, but it does a great job of combing through your user account, your hard drive, or more specific folders as needed. If there are files that are infected on your Mac, ClamXav will find them, provide you with a description as to what the infected file can possibly do to your computer, and give you tools to deal with them.

ClamXav’s two-pronged approach helps it do as well a job as it does. The program allows you to put infected files aside in a specified quarantine location, then tear them and delete them as you see fit following the scan. The scan process, in turn, can be paused and resumed at your leisure (something which is definitely appreciated in the case of multi-terabyte hard drives), and infected files can be quarantined and/or deleted outright on the fly. It’s simple to schedule scans or add a flash drive or external hard disk to the device list to scan later.

What makes ClamXav truly shine is its support base, as well as the fact that it doesn’t try to be overbearing within the OS X operating system, nor does it try to function without your permission and solve all your problems. Unlike offerings like Symantec’s recent anti-virus and security suites, ClamXav doesn’t try to be ever-present and continuously monitor your system functions. It’s there when it needs to be, its application and virus definition update functions work like a dream, and after having to remove an unresponsive 2009 copy of Norton Antivirus out of a client’s MacBook Pro using a shell script located on the Symantec website, one can appreciate the effort that goes into its steady upkeep.
