[QUOTE="Ratsima, post: 1819569, member: 402210"] Well, it is a bit confusing. Perhaps deliberately so. Originally (I think) ClamXAV was just a GUI wrapper for the command line tools collectively called ClamAV. ClamXAV has moved on and is now much more (and more expensive). [URL="https://www.clamav.net"]ClamAV[/URL] is now supported by Cisco which, I believe, coordinates keeping the malware definitions up to date. ClamAV can be installed on a Mac via MacPorts, HomeBrew and (maybe) Fink. Setting it up is not trivial. However, there is a mailing list and good help is available. For me it was mostly a challenging project to keep an old retired guy busy. [/QUOTE]
