I’ve been using Apple Macbook Pro as my primary work horse since 2008. I’ve always had ClamXav installed as a ‘heuristic’ solution to monitor apps and downloads for virus and malware.

I’m a fan of sandbox for apps, but as I do develop a whole heap of different things, just installing from the Mac App Store is not an option for me.

Now I’m going to look for other software …. or remove ClamXav all together.
