ClamXav is a graphical user interface to make ClamAV easier to use. This is one of the most unusual aspects of ClamXav: The ClamAV engine is developed and maintained by a completely different group. When you launch ClamXav, it walks you through installing the app's virus-detection engine. After that, however, it requires some setup. Just download the latest version from the developer's website and then drag ClamXav to your Applications folder. Because I use live malware in my testing, I install the antivirus software I am evaluating in a virtual environment. Setup and Impact In my testing, I used an Apple iMac running OS X 10.10 Yosemite. It's always a good idea to use the latest version of software-especially security software-so use it at your own risk. Those who wish to use that version should be aware that it will not receive updates (though it will still receive new virus definitions) and may not be compatible with future versions of OS X. I have reviewed ClamXav 2.7.5 separately, for users interested in a free option. That's par for the course, but I was surprised (and a little annoyed) by the number of times I was prompted to pay for the app during my free trial.Īllan notes that although ClamXav 2.7.5 will no longer be supported, he will continue to make it available as a free download.
