How does ClamAV work with Tiger ?
I am wondering how this ClamAV works with my OSX.
I read this on Apple site:
"Also new in Mac OS X Server v10.4 is ClamAV, which scans mail messages and attachments for viruses, automatically deleting the message or quarantining it to a specified directory on the server for further analysis."
So I decided to test it.
I sent to myself from another computer an email containing an empty text file called "latestpics.tgz"
When I opened my email on my Mac nothing happened. I downloaded the file to my desktop; no problem. Double-clicked it; still no problem reported.
Then I realized something may have to be updated.
I checked for Software Update and bingo! there was this "Security Update 2006-002 (PowerPC)" (1.1)" that I installed.
Restart the Mac, reopened my email; STILL NOTHING.
What gives ?
