I haven't ..... and I will not do so. I understand that there are NO 
viruses which attack an Apple computer and, if necessary, Trojans and 
Worms may be removed with Malwarebytes.

Here's a screenshot of much of what is contained in the installation 
package. There's no way that I could determine whether or not anything 
untoward is being installed!

I'd like to know if ANYONE reading the Usenet groups has installed ClamXAV.

The Village Idiot is always obsessed with something.   Now - AGAIN - it 
is ClamXAV.  It is his perennial stalking target.

Yes. A former employer required, for some unspecified reason, that it be 
installed on all Macs attached to the network. It never caused me any

Thank you, André.

Are you using it on your personal machine right now?

Will you, please, just clarify - was your employer using ClamXAV ......

  	..... or simply ClamAV ?

I hope you are right about that, André.

There's no way any ordinary folk can check that. :-(

What REALLY is a give-away is the company's inability to run a Facebook

I have absolutely no idea why you are so suspicious about this 
particular piece of software. It's reputable software from a reputable 
company. It just performs a task which I don't see as particularly 
necessary or useful.

Worst case scenario, it's buggy or causes a notable slowdown, in which 
case you simply uninstall it.

> What REALLY is a give-away is the company's inability to run a Facebook 
> page! Have you taken a look?

I've never visited any company's facebook page. I would hope a software 
company devotes its time and effort to developing and maintaining 
software rather than facebook pages.

*WHO* says it's a "reputable company"? (apart from it's own marketing blurb)

It's not recommended by Apple and it isn't available in the App Store.

Worst case scenario is that your computer may become part of a Botnet.

  ..... and you'd likely never know about it!

André, THOUSANDS of companies now advertise their wares on Facebook.

I think it should be clear to everyone now that the poster of these

it's actually much worse than just a troll, thus my warning from a few

Anti-Virus software on an Apple machine is not needed.

*YES*!

Hardly ANYONE will be bothering with software like Wireshark to monitor 
their Internet connectivity https://www.wireshark.org/

you might not, but that doesn't mean other people won't.

especially you, who would have no clue what to do with it.

and it's not even necessary, further supporting that you don't know
what to do with it.

definitely not.

companies that have a facebook page instead of their own web site
suggests laziness, incompetence and a complete disregard for their
users.

Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of other veteran Mac users who
have used ClamXAV for years and know it to be of decent quality.

Software doesn't have to be recommended by Apple to be of good quality
or trustworthy - same for being on the App Store. That means nothing.

>> Worst case scenario, it's buggy or causes a notable slowdown, in which

That can happen without having ClamXAV installed. Maybe you should just
stop using your computer. Or is your supposed "concern" about botnets
not genuine?

>   ..... and you'd likely never know about it!

Nonsense. Many people would know if any popular Mac software like
ClamXAV did such a thing.

So does ClamXAV.

I call bullshit. The 'professional' service was launched less than four 
years ago: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/SC500971

Do post some published reviews of how great the software is.

You are welcome to your view. Apple recommends caution in that respect.

https://support.apple.com/kb/PH25087?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US

How does one determine if Mark Allan IS an "identified developer"?

Do you have any Apple contacts who can verify this?

It's a REAL concern!

"Yes, You Are a Target!"  A great item from SANS - everyone should read it!
