DESCRIPTION

ClamXav is a free virus checker for Mac OS X. It uses the tried, tested and very popular ClamAV open source antivirus engine as a back end.

I hope you like and use ClamXav a lot and that it helps keep you and your friends/colleagues virus-free. Although I'm providing ClamXav for free, I am increasingly spending more and more time developing it and would really appreciate if you would consider making a donation please. All donations (no matter how small) are gratefully received and would be a huge incentive to help me work on future versions of ClamXav, but more importantly I rely on donations to pay for my bandwidth costs. Please consider it, see the ClamXav homepage, click the 'More Information' link above on this page.

DOUGSTER  Hi Bosie,

I have been using Clam for just two days. I had been using Norton AV11, but this software caused kernel panics to my iMac.

I have not noticed any Clam quits in Console logs. What I have noticed, though, is that the Clam menu bar logo keeps disappearing, which is annoying because I want to know the thing is still running!  (Version 1.1e92)

INTELLECT INSIDE  feedback

It used to be, when updating virus definitions, that ClamX would provide a visual cue that it is performing the function. There was a slash mark that would flicker, indicating updating was in progress. I just installed the latest version, clicked the Update button, and received no such indicator. I thought the app was hanging, until a few minutes later it suddenly said that updating was complete.

Please, bring back the visual feedback that lets me know the update is working, and not hanging.  (Version 1.1e92)

HOOPS587  I just recently downloaded ClamXav because my computer has been acting funny. There is a black outline of a box that molds itself or takes shape to any button or icon on the page I am currently viewing. Wether it be Bridge or a Finder Window. It is almost like it finds a button or icon to shape itself to, thinking that is where my mouse is clicking. As if it is highlighting it with this black outline of a box. It is very bothersome and i thought maybe it meant I had a virus. The other thing I noticed that was different is under the Apple Menu I now have 2 shutdown,restart and logout choices. So far ClamXav has not found anything but is anyone familar with this and can lend me some advice on what it is and how did i get rid of it!?!?!?! I appreciate your help... thank you!!  (Version 1.0.8e912)
