Requires at least Mac OS X 10.5 *
Available in English, Danish, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Spanish.
If you already have ClamXav 2.0.x installed, please use the "Check for ClamXav updates" option in the ClamXav menu as it simplifies the update procedure.
*If you're on OS X 10.4, please see below.
Mac App Store Version
A slightly modified version of ClamXav is available in the Mac App Store.What are the differences between the version of ClamXav available to download here and the version on the Mac App Store?
- The App Store version doesn't contain ClamXav Sentry, so it is not able to watch your computer for new files and scan them as they arrive.
- There is no engine installation phase as the App Store requirements stipulate that everything must be self-contained within the app.
- Virus definition updates are downloaded on a per-user basis.
- Updates to the ClamXav app itself are taken care of via the Mac App Store.
- Mac OS X 10.6 or greater is required.
The exact same version which is on the Mac App Store can also be downloaded here.
Mac OS X 10.4 Users
New versions of ClamXav have a minimum requirement of OS X 10.5, so if you're still using 10.4, you should download Version 2.2.1 and turn OFF application-update checking in ClamXav's preferences.You should, however, keep checking for virus definitions as you will still receive updates for these for the time being.
SHA1 Checksums
The SHA1 checksum can be used to check the authenticity of files you download from this website. To use it, open the Terminal (which is inside the Utilities folder), type/usr/bin/openssl sha1followed by a space and then drag into the terminal window the file you downloaded, hit return and verify that the number returned to you is the same as the one here.
Note, this will not work if you decompress the archive first. You have to do it on the exact file you download from this website.
sha1 for ClamXav_2.2.2.dmg is 35a27c7f8fffdf35349e46555d2705d7305d4039
