Clamav4Mac
The Non-Graphical ClamAV Antivirus Solution for Mac OS X
I wrote this as a free alternative to the excellent ClamXav. Clamav4Mac sets up real-time directory monitoring and schedules periodic scans. It uses ClamAV as an AntiVirus engine and fswatch to actively monitor directories for new or changed files, which are then sent to clamd for scanning.
Prerequisites
All prerequies will be automatically installed. I have tested Clamav4Mac on High Sierra & Mojave , but it may also work in other versions of OS X.
Virus Scans
Clamav4Mac performs two types of scans:
When a file is changed or created, it will be scanned immediately. By default, the $HOME and Applications directories are monitored. Scheduled scanning: Clamav4Mac will perform recursive scans of directories at scheduled times. By default, the entire $HOME and /Application is scanned once a week. In all cases, when a virus is found, it is moved to the quarantine folder and an email is send to the administrator.
Installing
git clone https://github.com/coldnfire/clamav-mac.git
chmod 700 install.sh configuration.sh
./install.sh
This will bootstrap Clamav4Mac by building the lastest versions of ClamAV and fswatch from brew. It will schedule a full file system scan once a week and update signatures once a day. It also sets up live monitoring for the $HOME and /Applications directories. Each of these things can be configured by modifying script variables.
By default, the installation directory is ~/clamav-mac.
