Much easier if you were to simply give your opinion on ClamXav
I've never heard of it... I used to work for Apple Care tech support,
and we recommend everyone install a free program, now called
MalwareBytes for Mac.
Thank you, Michael. Apple Support have often mentioned to me the
advantages of running the 'free' version of Malwarebytes for Apple.
It's available here: https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac
Its use is often recommended on the Apple Support Communities (ASC)
forums. So, too, was ClamXav during the years I was monitoring the
forums. No other AV/AM software programmes have ever been recommended to
the best of my knowledge, but that's where I saw it being 'promoted'.
The developer of Adware Medic, Thomas Reed, was a prolific poster on the
ASC forums https://www.thesafemac.com/about/
Not once, though, have I seen a post on the ASC written by Mark Allan,
the developer of ClamXav. https://www.linkedin.com/company/canimaan-software-ltd/ Perhaps he
posted under a pseudonym.

There is a (dreadful) Facebook page too, here:- https://www.facebook.com/clamxav
HTH
Has /anyone/ reading here any personal experience of using the ClamXav software?
