ClamXav CommentaryA truly great service to the community - Version: 1.1.1, 9/2/2008 12:24PM PST

While there may not (yet) be many (any) OS X viruses, this is a great way to be ready and at the same time help squash those on other platforms; and free! Given the annual cost of a commercial package, this is truly a great service to the community. This version seems to have Sentry launching properly (1.1.0 has a few issues).

ClamXav ReviewClamXav 1.1.1 = faster - Version: 1.1.1, 8/31/2008 06:56AM PST

Downloaded the ClamXav 1.1.1 with ClamAV engine 0.93.3 & it is much faster.
Scanned my files in half the time it was taking before.
The install went smoothly, as you no longer need to delete the old version ...
ClamXav & the other flavours of ClamAV work wonderfully & find problems other AV software miss.
