Clamxav Antivirus For Mac Review



  • ClamXav is a popular choice for many longtime Mac fans, and overall the app seems good. It's simple to use, offers basic protection for your Mac and stays out of your way.
  • ClamXAV is imho the best antivirus/anti-malware software for the Mac. But now with version 3 they switched to a subscription model. And they just lost a paying customer. Sorry, but I'm saying bye-bye.
  • ClamXAV is an anti-malware solution for macOS which uses the popular ClamAv antivirus engine, and designed to detect and quarantine all kids of threats (for both Mac and Windows) such as viruses, trojans, phishing and spyware. Robust antivirus solution with a clear-cut user interface and real-time.
  • ClamXav 2.7 is the last free edition of the storied Mac antivirus app, but it fails to impress with an unintuitive interface and poor independent lab scores.

ClamXav is a graphic user interface for OS X based on Clam, a popular and powerful open-source and cross-platform antivirus. Until a few months ago you could download it for free, but now you have to buy it from the developer’ site. ClamXav has two main features: a thorough scanof your hard disk, and a real-time warden called CalmXav Sentry.

Show viruses and adware the door

With the ClamXAV scanner heading off any security threats to your Mac, it’s easy to get rid of unwanted intruders at home

‣ Safe as houses

ClamXAV is a highly trusted anti-virus and malware scanner for macOS. It detects threats and keeps the Mac in your home clean, safe and virus-free. It also ensures you don’t pass on security threats and nasty viruses to anyone else.

‣ You're in control

ClamXAV can either scan specific files or your entire hard drive – it’s up to you and it only takes a couple of clicks to start the process. It will scan any incoming new files the instant they arrive and can put suspicious ones straight into quarantine.

‣ Automatic pilot

Avast Antivirus For Mac

ClamXAV automatically updates virus definitions, aiming to keep one step ahead of any unpleasant intruders trying to gain access to your Mac. You can programme automated scans at a time that suits you and you even won’t notice ClamXAV working away quietly in the background.

‣ Say pop off to pop ups

Want to put a stop to irritating pop up adverts? Thought so! That’s why ClamXAV blocks adware too, leaving you free to get on with whatever you’re doing, without unwanted interruptions.

We are excited to announce that yet again AV-TEST, the independent IT Security Institute, has awarded ClamXAV full marks in its most recent review of home user security products for macOS Catalina.

Review

During May 2020, the Institute evaluated 9 home user security products for macOS 10.15 Catalina. It focused on malware detection, false positives and performance. ClamXAV scored full marks in each section: protection, performance, and usability. This shows you that ClamXAV really does provide you with award-winning protection without slowing down your computer.

At ClamXAV, we are committed to investing in our product in order to provide the best protection for MacOS. The results of this review show that this commitment is bringing real benefits to our customers.

We designed ClamXAV to put users in control of how to protect their Macs, giving you the choice to scan the entire hard drive, or one specific file. Incoming files are scanned and quarantined if deemed suspicious, and will even block adware, leaving users free from irritating interruptions.
