Download ClamXAV 3.5 Build 9386 (Mac) Free

Clam XAV is an anti-malware solution for macOS that uses the popular ClamAv antivirus engine designed to detect and quarantine all child threats (for Mac and Windows) such as viruses, trojans, phishing and spyware.

Powerful antivirus solution with clear UI and real-time notification engine

The user interface is very simple, providing access to all available functions in a simplified manner, giving you easy access to the toolbar, source list, infection list, console and status area.

Before scanning for viruses on a Mac, users are strongly advised to update their virus definitions from ClamXAV’s website, which can be performed manually from the toolbar, via ClamXAV Sentry, or automatically by specifying an update interval in the application’s preferences dialog.

Additionally, ClamXAV Sentry is an essential part of antivirus software because it provides quick access to some of the most important features, displaying real-time visual notifications about what ClamXAV is doing.

Status bar integration and automatic folder monitoring

ClamXAV’s menu bar item will automatically change to indicate the status of the antivirus software: it will be grayed out if the folder is not being viewed, it will be black if the folder is being viewed, and it will flash if it is scanning for viruses or updating definitions.

Another feature worth mentioning is ClamXAV’s ability to monitor specific folders for incoming threats, which means that whenever a file is copied to a location (such as a Mac’s desktop), ClamXAV will immediately start scanning for malware.

Additionally, through the Preferences window, you can change antivirus software By configuring audio alerts, setting quarantine folders, excluding certain files from scans, scheduling virus scans and definition updates, or managing ClamXAV Sentry components.

Full-featured anti-malware utility for Mac

ClamXAV also provides a Services menu for the Finder that enables you to assign a global hotkey for scanning selected files or folders from the Keyboard section of System Preferences.

Overall, ClamXAV is a solid anti-m alware

A macOS solution that manages to provide strong security for your Mac’s data with a plethora of powerful features and a user-friendly interface.
