Virus/malware gains traction by exploiting vulnerabilities on unprotected systems.
ClamXav cost me nothing monetarily nor time in productivity, this is a safety net that costs little more than five minutes of your time. I have never had a positive hit in all the years I have run ClamXav equally OS X is gaining traction and it`s simply a matter of time before someone figures it out, thinking otherwise is simply naive. I am not entirely sure posts that overly renforce this sense of security are helpful to the average user, even Apple recognise the threat, however the updates are too slow to be considered a preventative measure. Lets face it, if and when OS X is compromised it will spread like wildfire as many fundamentally believe that OS X is invulnerable, and take little or no precautions. I have literally decades of work on my systems, I have no intention of losing any data, ClamXav is but one tool in a multilayered safety net. The retorts of AV being a resource hog, boils down to one thing, research ClamXav will not bog your system down, if it does you have some other inconsistencies that need addressing, or your hardware is so old it`s well and truly time to upgrade, on my Early 2008 MBP ClamXav is simply invisible, there is absolutely no degradation of performance, as for the new i7 2.4 MBP it`s completely transparant. To have a free, low headroom, accurate scanner that offers a lot of flexibility and not utilize it seems somewhat stubborn at best. ClamAV the parent of ClamXav protects numerous Unix based servers globally, which is a pretty good tip.ĬlamXav will have no impact on a modern Intel based Mac. Does anyone seriously still believe that running ClamXav on todays modern hardware impacts performance! The paid for packages I agree are a waste of $ offering little more than a placebo with a heavyweight user interface. The sentry is presently utilising 0.2% of CPU consuming just over an hours worth of CPU time over several weeks and this is on a machine over four years old. You do need to be careful on the choice of application ClamXav is extremely light and only looks in realtime at what you specify and it`s free.

What does not hurt your Mac & OS X may bring a PC to it`s knees.
#SELENE IANTIVIRUS CODE#
There are several reasons to run antivirus/malware on OS X especially if you are dealing with a mixed environment passing on malicious code even inadvertently does you no favours in the profesional world, let alone family and friends. Same question, same rhetoric (will be coming soon
