ClamXav is a very useful tool, a freeware virus checker for
Mac OS X. It uses a slightly modified version of the tried, tested,
and very popular clamav open source antivirus engine as a
back-end.
Back in the days before OS X, the number of viruses which
attacked Macintosh users totalled somewhere between about 60 and
80. Today, the number of viruses actively attacking OS X users
is...NONE! However, this doesn't mean we should get complacent
about checking incoming email attachments or web downloads, for two
reasons.
Firstly, there's no guarantee that we Mac users will continue
to enjoy the status quo, but more importantly, the majority of the
computing world use machines running MS Windows, for which an
enormous quantity of viruses exist, so we must be vigilant in
checking the files we pass on to our friends and colleagues
etc.
For example, if you're a wise person and you've turned MS
Office's macro support off then you're not going to notice that
virus which is hiding inside this month's edition of Extreme
Ironing.doc which your friend sent you. If you then forward that
document to a less wise person who has not turned off the macro
support, then you have most likely just sent him a shiny new
Pandora's Box with a sign saying "Open this end"!
Flippancy aside, I'm sure you get the idea: check the file
before opening and/or sending it on to someone else. This gives you
the opportunity to avoid the file altogether or at least copy and
paste any vital information into a new document and send that
instead.
Don't forget, if you run VirtualPC you can still become
infected and lose valuable data on your Mac even though technically
you're running Windows inside a sandbox. VPC will run any
application you tell it to, virus or no virus, it doesn't know the
difference. You can protect yourself slightly by not using VPC's
"shared folders", but that's a useful feature which you
shouldn't have to be without.
NOTE: Must NOT be installed on Mac OS X 10.5
Server.
