Our next cool application is called ClamXav. This useful little application is an anti-virus software package for Mac OS X. It is based on Clam AV, the popular open source anti-virus for Linux/Unix.

ClamXav can scan your hard drive or any other type of drive for viruses. This works much like the other types of virus scanners you are used to, especially if you are Windows user. The part of ClamXav that I think is so cool is that it can now do real-time virus scanning – a feature called ClamXav Sentry. This is amazing, considering that this product is donationware, meaning you pay the author what you think the software is worth and what you can afford.

Check it out!
