ClamXav ReviewClamXav - wonderful rewrite for Snow - Version: 2.0.4, 11/14/2009 03:16PM PST

ClamXav 2.0.4 works exceptionally quick.
Using it on a new MBP 15 2.66 with Snow 10.6.2 the new ClamXav flies.
I'd say it takes a third to a quarter of the time it use to, to scan a large file.
The definitions happen even faster & the Clam engine is also current, which is nice when looking for viruses.
This is refined software.

ClamXav ReviewFixed 2.0.4 - Version: 2.0.4, 11/9/2009 01:58PM PST

That worked and I apologise to all, I should have deleted those prefs earlier... too busy with other things and thoughts.

Scanning on PPC machine at the moment...

2.0.4 works brilliantly on 10.6.1 and is working on 10.6.2 as well. Detected a single (W32) worm Worm.Gibe.F-1 in a corrupted email database from a client machine.

Update - on the PPC (10.5.8 with todays security update) machine, so far 15 various W32 Worms and Trojans, all Win32 exe's and all in client machine backups!!!

Works well. Recommend.
Cheers,
Bruce.

Keep getting an "unexpectedly quit - error number 2". Then in the resultant crash, a long list, part of which follow. Note in this case Thread 4 crashed so I have only included that part.
This is on a PPC DP2.5GHz 10.5.8.
Alas I suspect use of a NULL pointer here...
Cheers.
