These latter two probably correspond to when I launched the app. According to the log, it ran on June 25 (Sunday) at 3:45 am, then again midafternoon on Tuesday (June 27) and again just now today (June 29).
#Using clamxav update
Preferences -> Schedule I have set to Update on Sunday at 3:30 am and scan on Sunday at 3:45 am. Just because something doesn't appear there does not mean it will be excluded. The source list only contains items that were originally there and items you have selected to scan. However, the "Source List" panel of my ClamXAV main window does not have the backup disk in the list, so I suppose this is the right configuration.
#Using clamxav plus
The exclude list does include mounted volumes, but you need to drag the icon from your desktop to the prefs window, not from the sidebar of a finder window, or click the plus "+" button at the bottom of the Exclude Preferences window and navigate to that mounted volume. I dragged my backup disk to the ClamXAV Preferences window and it disappeared in a puff of smoke. The Preferences->Exclude Files tab seems to be about files, not disks. My question is: Is there a more elegant way to do this? So I suppose I could follow along and do what it would do. But I can scroll them, and so I can read them. HOWEVER, I can read the AppleScript inside this file by looking at it through the preview (rightmost) pane of a Finder window in Column View. If I drop the file's icon onto a Script Editor icon, the Finder says the same thing. “ClamAV Engine REMOVER.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. If I launch it, the Finder puts up a modal dialog which says,

Its makers included a convenient "ClamAV Engine REMOVER.app" file (created ). I have a ClamXAV.app file, version 2.8.9.1, that I apparently installed a year and a half ago, 1/28/16. This happens every Sunday morning, I've tried killing it, but it just comes back the next Sunday morning.
#Using clamxav full
You might, for example, decide to carry out a quick scan every week, and then do a full hard drive scan once a month.My MacOS 10.11.6 system's Activity Monitor shows the 'clamscan' process to be using 98+% CPU time and has been running for nearly eight hours of CPU Time. You can also add destinations to the navigation pane by clicking the “+” at the bottom.ĬlamXav doesn’t automatically schedule any scans, but to do so you can select the drive or folder you’d like to scan, click the clock icon in the main panel, and schedule a scan. There’s also a section to drag-and-drop files. The left-hand pane contains options to do a quick scan, scan the entire hard disk, the user folder, recent files, Documents, Desktop, or Downloads. You have a left hand navigation pane, and then a primary area where you can activate a scan and view the results. The basic layout is similar to previous versions. Interface and featuresĬlamXav continues to offer a very simple and straightforward interface. ClamXav itself doesn’t have any protection for online threats, but if a malicious file hits your Mac the suite should detect it. ClamXav also stood up well against the Wicar test database, blocking a virus that Firefox didn’t red-flag.
