I switched from ClamXav to the free iAntiVirus. I’ve never had a stable version of ClamX’s Folder Sentry which crashed for no apparent reason on four Macs and various versions of Mac OS X.

iAntiVirus is rock solid, faster than ClamXav and runs as a foreground application rather in the background.

We’ve only had three viruses since 1989, all under Classic and all caught by the venerable Disinfectant. Various infected Windows emails have been received but nothing to worry about.

I used to use ClamAV until I upgraded to Leopard last week. The Migration Assistant didn't copy it over and I've yet to enable it. Not sure I will at this stage, as I'm not doing any work for corporates who would ask me what AV I use. It was having a corporate which caused me to install ClamAV just to keep them sweet. Since that's not an issue, I'm riding the internet "bareback" just so I can have a few extra cycles for my own use instead of to placate other's paranoia.
