You really want to set this up on a ‘set-and-forget’ schedule, so after doing the first lengthy scan of all my data drives, I set ClamXav to do a daily virus definition update and to scan just my data directory (10 minutes) right after, thus:ĭaily update and scan setting in ClamXav. You can download ClamXav by clicking the picture below the maker says its fully compatible back to OS Tiger, 10.4:Ĭlick the picture to go to the ClamXav download page. Not bad when you consider those data files had gone through many migrations among successive machines over the past decade. Note to self: Trash deleted emails in future. 311 minutes later it reported 7 viruses among the 3 million + files it had scanned, all being phishing viruses in deleted and unopened emails. A Mac source mentioned it so I downloaded it and scanned the 1tB HDD where my data – some 650gB – reside. However, the other day my eye was caught by a free virus scan utility curiously named ClamXav. Good luck recovering a dime from PayPal, by the way. So now instead of PayPal and their partner in crime, eBay, cheating you, someone else has. Well, duh! Known as ‘phishing’, the victim here deserves everything he gets and finds out soon enough when his PayPal account has been emptied. The other common invasion attempt is emails from fraudsters representing themselves as PayPal and asking that you ‘update your information’, part of which ‘update’ requires you enter your password.
Well, there’s one born every minute, as the old saying has it. This thing would pop up on the screen from nowhere asking you to download an anti-virus program, and would infect your Mac once you did so. What Apple was really staving off is user stupidity. (That’s Russia’s version of the plea bargain – Putin gets richer and life goes on as usual). Doubtless, they are paying off the KGB as you are reading this.

The virus was funded by ChronoPay, Russia’s PayPal and evidently a brother under the skin when it comes to business ethics. Indeed, while Apple constantly patches security holes in its Apps, the first time I recall them making an OS update for a virus was the 10.6.8 update of Snow Leopard a few weeks ago to stave off the MacDefender virus, whose Russian creator was just arrested a few days ago. This is why I tend to view the scare stories put out now and then by the major anti-virus app makers – McAfee and Norton – as so much disinformation intended to ramp up sales of their products. The last time this happened in regular use was maybe 4 years ago, so it’s not like I’m worrying. If I have it has made no difference, as I have seen the grey OS ‘kernel panic’ screen maybe three or four times in that decade (absent when hacking and it was my own fault!). In my decade of using Macs I have never run any anti-virus software and, as far as I know, never got a virus.
