Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Recommend Product: NO

Thanks UmarOMC1 for the heads up that this really isn't FREEWARE. It charges you 29.00 a year for support and updates. That's just low man. iClamXav does the same as this troublesome app but with daily updates and it's true freeware. It runs smooth too. It actually picks up things others miss. I don't use it anymore because it wasn't automatic enough. You have to check everything manually that you downloaded, which was not all that bad, but I'm getting lazy as I get older.

I use Norton and it works just fine for me, no slow downs, no problems, updater works great, background works great, and I think it was free, arrrgh.

Freeware, where? - AMCarter3

As I have come to understand ClamXA/V, it seems to work fine, but various people have claimed (with some authority behind their claim), that this program is way behind and is NOT updated with the most current malware.

Yes, this is freeware. Pay for more than basic utility. - zunipus

Incorrect. You are looking at the PAY version. This page at VT is for the FREEWARE version.

Yes folks, this IS FREEWARE. There is a paid version with lots more capability if you want it.

Yes folks, this FREEWARE version IS UPDATED regularly with the very latest Mac OS X malware definitions.

For freeware this is the ONLY decent program for Mac. Don't bother with ClamAV if you want to detect Mac OS X malware as its latest definition is from October 2007. Since then there have been SEVERAL new Mac Trojans.

Norton is $49.95. Don't you remember paying for it?
