If you're having problems with 2.0.1 Beta crashing, delete the .plist file at:

Sorry, still crashing & still bad beta - Cowicide

I deleted the plist, ran it and checked for def updates, then when I tried to open the preferences it crashed yet again. Nothing else on my machine is crashing... running Mac OS 10.5.8 -- I love the clam too, but let's face it... this beta is kinda bogus...

Reverting back, constantly crashes - Cowicide

Matter of fact, it's so bad I'm reverting back... crashing over and over... thought maybe it was incompatible with APE and udder stuff I run, but I excluded the clam from them and it still went down in flames. The old version literally never crashed before for me. Hopefully this will get fixed. :(

NOT a bad beta - shavital2

ClamXav 2.0.1 beta crashed, I trashed its .plist as suggested, crashed again. Maybe it's because I am still running 10.5.8. Anyway I'll wait patiently for a further release. ClamXav *is* a great anti-virus utility, and not only because it is freeware.

A good beta 2.0.1 - shavital2

After my previous post, where I indicated that 2.0.1 crashed also after I deleted its .plist, now it is running in a very stable way, I have been able to configure it using the Preferences. So far so good, we'll see what happens when I upgrade to Snow Leopard (in another couple of weeks or so.

Thanks for the tip... - friedchikkin

I went ahead and tried this after 2.0.1 was released and I went ahead and deleted the prefs before launching.

Works fine. Xeon MacPro 10.5.8
