After changing from a free app to paid four years ago, ClamXav continues to be a popular choice for protecting Macs. You don’t get a lot of frills with ClamXav, but the price is right and protection is good.
Canimaan Software Ltd., the company behind the popular anti-virus solution, released the latest version of the app, ClamXav 3, in August 2018. The update offers a mild redesign with a more streamlined interface making it easier to use.
ClamXav 3 relies on the open source detection engine ClamAV, which is maintained by Cisco Talos. Overall, protection appears to be good; however, none of the testing houses have released a recent report on ClamAV or ClamXav 3, leaving it up to us to see how it fared.
