New users can get the software for only £14.99, whereas students with an eligible email address have to pay £15.99! What student is going to do that whilst the promo period lasts?! The current pricing is a little odd too.If I'm paying what would normally be £20 for software, I wouldn't expect to deal with crappy bugs like that one. Especially considering not long ago I almost removed the software due to the bug whereby it kept asking me to scan/never scan over and over again. I agree with Artimus12 that the cost of the software is quite steep.Having said that ClamXav never found anything anyway, hopefully because I'm the careful sort! I'm fairly security conscious so I'm confident that my machine would be (as it always has been) clean anyway, The main reason I went with ClamXav in the beginning, was so that I didn't pass on all the M$ Word macro crap that seemed to be doing the rounds at Uni when I was there. I don't visit dodgy websites or download/use hooky software. Yes, I've been a long time user and I've paid nothing for that use, but AV is not something I'd want to pay for on my Mac - or even my virtual windows machine.I've been a long time user of ClamXav and have updated the software many times over the years, so I suppose I was just on automatic pilot which is very unusual for me. If I'd spotted that the software was no longer going to be FoC, I wouldn't have bothered installing the update.

Firstly, I'm annoyed with myself that I didn't fully read through the install docs.I've not felt the need to comment for quite a while on here but here goes. I'm just going to weigh in on this thread. putting it in warm water and slowly turning up the heat, It's bound to cause many to jump ship to a more recognised name - even if they're not as good as ClamXav.Įdit: I've updated the Poll to reflect the views of those that don't use scanners on Macs. I think it could have been charged at 10.00-15.00$ (7.50-10£) with justification! but the Developer could easily put himself out of the game with such an expensive introduction - it's like he's trying to make up for the years of not charging by recouping all his efforts in an instant! Just like putting a lobster in a Boiling pot Vs. But didn't he think that the reason it's been so popular on Macs is because it was free? Personally, I think his advisors have lead him to believe it's worth more than it is.

So, why blow the money for 'just in case' when it may never happen and even if it does the app may fail to detect and remove it? If a problem does arise you can use a free solution to deal with it or in a worst case scenario, restore the operating system and then all your apps and data from Time Machine.Īnyone not taking advantage of TimeMachine or similar has far more to worry about than whether or not they install some relatively useless antivirus program on OS X.Ĭlick to expand.I've no doubt the dev put a lot of time and effort into making ClamXav as good as it is, I applaud that work and feel it should be compensated for! But the price is a little inflated for something that was previously F.O.C. It would be one thing if any one of these type of apps actually worked consistently and reliably but not one single one does or can. What is far, far more valuable is just keeping backups with TimeMachine that protect against catastrophe of most kinds.

I don't consider any of them worthwhile unless an actual problem presents itself that justifies further investigation in which case you can do that for free with Bitdefender on the Mac App Store or Avira on their own site and I'm sure others as well.

After more than three years of use that has included in place upgrades (not fresh installs) and a new system where I used Time Machine to restore everything, the only few items found were windows trojans in attachments to junk emails I never even looked at.Īny system can be compromised but it is unlikely with OS X where Windows is a far larger and more lucrative target. I have run scans with this app a number of times just to see what if anything it found.
