ClamXav is a freeware Mac Virus Scanner. Now don't go calling me crazy, I'm not big on Mac Virus protection. I love the fact that the Mac is still a very secure Operating System, especially when compared to Windows.

Because i do download files from the internet, I prefer to take some precaution.

I have had ClamXav installed for quite a while, and had it setup so that the Sentry (real time scanner) was set to auto-run when when booting up OS X, and it would scan only my Desktop and the "Web Downloads" folder where I download things from the internet. While this was great in theory, what happened is that the Sentry wouldn't auto-load when I booted up my system. I had to start ClamXav and manually launch the Sentry - this means that it never happened.

The new version of ClamXav has fixed whatever was wrong, and the Sentry now loads up when you boot.

Consider some protection, better safe than sorry I estimate.
