Antivirus and malware scanner for macOS from Canimaan Software Ltd, an independent company

Visit ClamXAV

ClamXAV is antivirus software for Mac that protects against viruses, adware, ransomware and other malware. It offers real-time protection with automatically updated virus definitions, on-demand scans of individual files or the full hard drive, and scheduled scans that run at chosen times. Built-in Adware Defence blocks unwanted pop-ups, and the software is designed to run in the background with minimal impact on system performance.

Business and team plans add the ability to lock down scanning preferences, control ClamXAV from the command line, deploy across multiple Macs, and integrate with the Xenia Management Console for remote monitoring and remediation. Customer support is included with all subscription plans.

Plans are available for home use (covering up to 3 Macs), a Family Pack (up to 9 Macs), students (single Mac, with a student discount), and business and educational institutions, with volume discounts for purchases of two or more licences. A free 30-day trial is offered, and subscriptions are billed yearly or every two years depending on the plan.
