The ClamAuth kernel extension enables ClamAV to provide on-access scanning for Mac OS X 10.5 and later.
Clamav Mac Os Homebrew
Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) is a free software, cross-platform and open-source antivirus software toolkit able to detect many types of malicious software, including viruses. One of its main uses is on mail servers as a server-side email virus scanner. MacOS-clamAV A simple macOS clamAV configuration with scheduled volume scans and on-access scans of user Downloads and Desktop directories. This configures clamAV for macOS with regular on-demand scans and on-access scanning of user Downloads and Desktop directories. ClamXav 2.8 opens a new, premium-priced chapter for this storied free Mac antivirus app, but a counterintuitive experience and poor third-party test scores make it difficult to recommend.
Clamav For Mac
A Macintosh OS X anti-virus software that uses the ClamAV anti-virus library. The project's focus is on usability. Its purpose is to develop native GUI-based binary distributions of a ClamAV-based anti-virus software that behaves as OS X users expect. 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.
The current version works in a passive mode only - ClamAV will log the detection but won't block access to the infected file. However, it's possible to perform special actions (eg. quarantine files) with the VirusEvent directive of clamd.Usage
-----
1. Run ClamAuth_load to load the kernel extension (you can edit the script to change or add more paths that will be monitored).
2. Add 'ClamAuth yes' to your clamd.conf (ClamAV 0.97.4) or 'ScanOnAccess yes' (ClamAV-devel)
3. Start clamd with root privileges ('sudo /usr/local/sbin/clamd')
If clamd properly connects to the driver, you should see a line like this in the log file:
ClamAuth: Driver version: 0.3, protocol version: 2
ClamAV is now monitoring the paths specified in ClamAuth_load.
