This package installs the complete Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV®) 0.95.3 toolkit on OSX Leopard and Snow Leopard. CLamAV is installed as 64 bit applications on these platforms. Its built-in support for bzip2 patches the vulnerability, CERT-FI 20469, present in the OSX distributions prior to 10.5.8.
For OSX Tiger users, please see these instructions.
We belive that our Leopard install will operate under OSX Tiger with the appropriate changes to launchd plists and clam conf files but we no longer have a testbed for verification.
For OSX Server (Snow Leopard, Leopard and Tiger), please see these instructions.
Further, it installs socat, version 2.0, to provide increased scriping capabilities to control the ClamAV daemon. Scripts and plists providing full integration with OSX are also installed. This enables log rolling and log integration with OSX and auto startup and operation.
During installation the installer automatically configures ClamAV configuration files on a fresh install or utilizes the existing configuration on upgrade. The ClamAV toolkit is installed in its default location, /usr/local/.
