I'm not familiar with this particular distribution, but it is included by Apple in all server versions of Mac OS X. It is also the AV scanning engine used in shareware applications Lion Cache Cleaner, ProtectMac and OTIC's ClamAV (currently out of date). You can also find it distributed with the freeware application ClamXav from either the AppStore or http://www.clamxav.com that has been widely recommended here by several Community users.


Full disclosure: I provide uncompensated tech support on the ClamXav Forum.

Thank you - I am in Australia so I have just sent all 4 CDs back to USA - I was entitled to keep 2 but I hated the software so much that i sent them all back. Not even compatable with Mac Lion. I have let them know under no certain terms what I thought of the site - luckily nit only cost me less than $5 - and thats the end of it.
