ClamXav is a free virus checker for 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.

• Fix for incorrect "Sentry not allowed to check for ClamXav updates"
• Hidden pref to prevent Sentry controlling clamd if you already have your own clamd monitoring setup. (If you enable this hidden preference setting, ClamXav Sentry will NOT monitor clamd at all; it will assume clamd is always running.)
