ClamXAV 3.6.1 Build 10182 Plus [Latest]
ClamXav is a free malware scanner. Its open-source antivirus engine, ClamAV, is widely used and can detect threats on both Windows and Mac operating systems. You can set up ClamXav to be either passive or active, meaning it can scan your entire hard drive or just the files you instruct it to.
You can also enable Sentry to have ClamXav for macOS watch your hard drive and scan new files as they come in. Users are highly encouraged to update their virus definitions on ClamXAV’s website before running a virus scan on their Mac.
This can be done manually from the toolbar, automatically by setting the update interval in the app’s options dialogue, or via the ClamXAV Download Sentry. The menu bar item for ClamXAV will automatically alter to show the antivirus’s current status: it will become grey if no folders are being monitored, black if they are, and flash if it is updating definitions or scanning for infections.
The capability of the ClamXAV 64-bit to monitor particular folders for incoming threats is another noteworthy feature. This implies that if you copy files to a location (like your Mac’s desktop), ClamXAV will immediately begin screening for malware.
