ClamXav 2.0 beta is a powerful virus checker. While there are currently no viruses which affect OS X, you can never be too sure. If you have any friends/colleagues using Windows (or indeed if you use MS Office on OS X), then you really ought to be checking every file you send/receive. Don't forget, VirtualPC can become infected just like any ordinary Windows PC.

While the app itself is quite small to download, don't let that fool you. It's very powerful and effective. I run it against all my incoming email and every file I download from the web and it's amazing just how many viruses fly in from unprotected friends and games websites. Do everyone a favour and use this, make the e-world a slightly safer place!

Major Features:

1. Free GUI front end to the ClamAV opensource virus checker.
2. Update the virus definitions.
3. Point it to a file or folder and scan.
4. Other features include logging results to a file, placing infected files into quarantine, monitoring folders for changes to their contents and a Finder Contextual Menu Item.
