Hello Steven,
i have recently moved over to ClamAV and found it to work well and to
be a fine replacement for products like virex, there was recently a
problem found with part of ClamAV that caused Multiple Integer
Overflow Vulnerabilities however this has been patched -
http://secunia.com/advisories/16250/
overall i'm pretty happy with ClamAV, one of my primary reasons for
moving to it apart from cost was the rumourmill from sophos regarding
viri for OS X
it would appear that they dont know a virus from a root exploit, which
concerns me. Also the ClamAV developers have proved that they are on
top of problems that occur with ClamAV and are proactive with there
fixes
cheers
Natas

Hi folks,
I know this must sound a bit paranoid .... but .... well .... you just
never know.
I have Virex installed but my .Mac membership expired about 3 months
ago.
I don't think the updates work any more because of this ??
Is this correct ? I can't see any way of actually checking.
I noticed someone recently recommending ClamXav.
I have downloaded it but have not yet installed it.
Would this be a good replacement for Virex ?
Or (if Virex still woks) a I better off staying with Virex ?
