WARNING!!! Although it looks like you can still purchase and download iAntivirus, it has not been updated in some time. If you look at their threat list, it is missing EVERY new Mac malware that appeared in 2011! (For example, MacDefender and its variants and Flashback.) DO NOT USE!

After spending the last 48 hours reinstalling OS X on an iMac and two Macbooks, I need to at least give this a try. This botnet is real and completely devastating. I've never pirated software and don't use torrents sites. Everything was fine before work and 8 hours later the UI was barely recognizable on all machines, iPod was locked up, and android phone just flashed continually. Never thought this actually happened at this level. Macs are just as vulnerable to this one, and that's really disappointing along with all the other crap I'm still fixing!!!

48 hours? Reinstall of OSX takes 1 hour at most per computer.

Tried ClamXAV in 08 when I first got my mac, didn't like it and then started using iAntivirus. It never picked up a virus or indicated an alert (I guess that is a good thing for me, not sure about the software)

It does take up RAM and Memory thought nothing significant, though sometimes it does take too much and I just disable it.

A couple of days ago, the website was down, you can read the post here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1013253

Links provided by fellow MacRumor members indicate the unreliability of iAntivirus.

I'm not sure what this AV program is doing. Does it check for Mac viruses only? The download is 3,6 MB small, and no 30 or 60 MB virus database is downloaded as the other AV progs do. Doing any kind of possible update from within the program doesn't download any kind of database. So I wasn't much surprised the program found no viruses on my USB sticks from PC friends.

engine version 1.0.0.11 (July 7, 2010)
database version: 2.0.49 (July 7, 2010)

On the other hand: ClamXav found three and Sophos found two of the viruses on my test USB stick that was infected from a friends PC. Therefore I recommend the free ClamXav and the commercial Sophos (in this order).

Iantivirus only scans for Mac Malware, that's why It didn't find anything.

Does that also explain why it hasn't been updated in a year?

Symantec bought PCTools, and we all know what happened to Sygate after Symantec bought them.

since the last update came out a year after they were acquired by Symantec, I think its safe to say they're still developing it.

First time I used that I said: "THE BEST FREE ANTIVIRUS EVER MADE for a Mac";

after that I got errors in UI (look the logo's imperfections), 100% cpu requested and sometimes endless scans plus a lot of console errors.

PCTools after being acquired by Symantec stopped iAntivirus' develop. That's bad.

This AV application has turned out to be a very well designed product, which comes with excellent documentation. iAntiVirus leaves a smaller memory footprint than other Mac-based AV products I've used, yet iAV provides fast, comprehensive, scanning options which can be easily tuned to meet individual system requirements. A really fine addition to your SL-based system; and this little gem is FREE!

works great on 10.6.1, scans literally 10x faster than macscan and actually found the trojans that were giving me problems unlike macscan which found nothing

I installed iAntivirus a few days ago, and started having problems with my Belkin USB Network control center software. I kept getting a message regarding "sxuptp driver has not been installed." After some searching I discovered this error was somehow connected with i
Antivirus. After uninstalling it I have had no further issues with sxuptp driver messages.

Thus.spake.z had trouble on 13 Oct 2009

I, also, have the issue of my MacBook Pro's temps sometimes shooting up and fans spinning at over 5000 rpm when "Protect My Mac" is on.
When checking Activity Monitor, I find that iavd is at nearly 100%. Turning "Protect My Mac" off brings temps back down and fans back to idle speed (2000 rpm).
Hope the developers find a fix for this issue.
Other than this one problem, iAntivirus seems to work ok and is fast. It hasn't found any viruses, yet, but that's because there aren't any active ones in the wild at this time, but I do like to keep an anti virus program available and run it once in a while.
