ClamXav CommentaryVersion already outdated - Version: 1.1.1e951, 6/18/2009 02:14AM PST

Check the scan logs and you'll see a message stating the engine is outdated. The are now on engine 952 which came out on June 10th. You can update it if you use developer tools which is something many of us DO NOT use. While I think it's great the program is free, please find an easier way to update.

ClamXav CommentaryRecommended - with caveats - Version: 1.1.1e951, 5/16/2009 11:24AM PST

The caveats belong to zunipus (Not adequate for Mac malware, yet... ) so read them.

This version (1.1.1e951) *finally* got rid of the error messages that said that some of the folders I had it watch didn't exist (of course they did!) so for that reason alone it's worth an update.

As I communicate with Windows users a lot (transfers, emails, etc.) I want to be sure not to propagate anything bad to them. I'm also looking forward to zunipus finding a source for the missing definitions in order to be forearmed. It's only a matter of time when we're actually going to need them.
