Clamxav mac11/23/2023 ![]() If the computer is shutdown on Sunday at that time, then there will be no scheduled scan.ġ) I don't understand how a scan would start by simply opening ClamXAV unless you selected something in the Scan list and pressed the "Scan" icon. If your computer remains sleeping at the scheduled time on Sunday, then the scan should occur when you wake it up. These latter two probably correspond to when I launched the app. According to the log, it ran on June 25 (Sunday) at 3:45 am, then again midafternoon on Tuesday (June 27) and again just now today (June 29). Preferences -> Schedule I have set to Update on Sunday at 3:30 am and scan on Sunday at 3:45 am. Just because something doesn't appear there does not mean it will be excluded. The source list only contains items that were originally there and items you have selected to scan. However, the "Source List" panel of my ClamXAV main window does not have the backup disk in the list, so I suppose this is the right configuration. The exclude list does include mounted volumes, but you need to drag the icon from your desktop to the prefs window, not from the sidebar of a finder window, or click the plus "+" button at the bottom of the Exclude Preferences window and navigate to that mounted volume. I dragged my backup disk to the ClamXAV Preferences window and it disappeared in a puff of smoke. The Preferences->Exclude Files tab seems to be about files, not disks. My question is: Is there a more elegant way to do this? So I suppose I could follow along and do what it would do. But I can scroll them, and so I can read them. HOWEVER, I can read the AppleScript inside this file by looking at it through the preview (rightmost) pane of a Finder window in Column View. If I drop the file's icon onto a Script Editor icon, the Finder says the same thing. “ClamAV Engine REMOVER.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. If I launch it, the Finder puts up a modal dialog which says, Its makers included a convenient "ClamAV Engine REMOVER.app" file (created ). I have a ClamXAV.app file, version 2.8.9.1, that I apparently installed a year and a half ago, 1/28/16. This happens every Sunday morning, I've tried killing it, but it just comes back the next Sunday morning. If you haven't noticed AV in general would qualify for my own segment of "You know what really grinds my gears.My MacOS 10.11.6 system's Activity Monitor shows the 'clamscan' process to be using 98+% CPU time and has been running for nearly eight hours of CPU Time. ![]() No one ever got fired for installing (antivirus|firewall) Not saying that everyone should uninstall it from all of their machines (oh how I pine for that glorious day) but going back to the Metasploit versions released in late 08 it is now incredibly trivial to create an executable with signatures that nothing has seen before. "Beware Windows antivirus snake oil peddlers." "Whilst the engineers at Apple sat on their hineys for two months and let up to 700,000 Apple customers get hurt." Always willing to stick it to Apple for doing something stupid. I like this post that went up today and RIXSTEP in general. And you have BIG A/V solution digging through all your email then how would that happen? If the Windows machines are already doing on-access scanning. Not an Apple OS.) One that came to mind was Sophos', but I don't know if their Mac product is anything but the free home one I've seen (can't seem to find anything but that and their FDE for Mac solutions on their site). I'm open to other solutions, as long as they can run on Enterprise infrastructure (i.e. Does anyone currently manage it with Casper? What are your experiences, good/bad/indifferent? If Apple would let the server OS be virtualized in something like an Enterprise-level VMWare, this would be moot. With Apple out of the Enterprise game, I'm not comfortable with a Mac Mini or Mac Pro in the datacenter, nor would our datacenter guys go for it. I've given VirusBarrier a look and while I appreciate that it's Mac-centric, it's a bit *too* Mac-centric as it requires Mac OS X on the backend. Thankfully, I have the latitude to choose the solution that meets our needs. (We're piggy backing for now on their service.) ![]() ![]() We currently use McAfee Security for Mac, but it's resource heavy and it's serviced by another department. I'm interested in seeing what people use for their AV solutions.
