ClamXav 3.2 for Mac – Download

Although it is one of the most powerful and secure operating systems, the Mac is not free from malware attacks. Even if you have a Mac, you need to have an antivirus program installed on your computer to protect it from external threats.

ClamXav has a great user interface that uses an open source antivirus engine called ClamAV. UNIX users will be familiar with this tool that you use through the command line. The program can be run passively or actively and also allows you to scan the entire hard drive or just a specific directory.

If you receive multiple emails from users running Windows or downloading applications for this operating system, ClamXav may scan them for viruses. You can also schedule it to do regular scans and keep track of specific folders that may be more vulnerable to potential virus infections or malware.
