   ClamXav 2.9

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Canimaan Software has issued [1]ClamXav 2.9 with a number of new
   features and improvements to the virus scanner. The update
   significantly improves on its ability to remove installed system
   infections and brings a new engine install/uninstall mechanism, which
   now retains any user-defined local/private mirrors and proxy settings.
   The release also improves disk image scanning, adds a color-coded
   infection list that helps identify the severity of an infection,
   enables you to cancel a definitions update in progress, fixes a bug
   that prevented the Dock icon progress bar from displaying properly, and
   improves ClamXav Sentry when running under multiple users. Because of
   the numerous changes to ClamXav 2.9, the trial period has been reset,
   enabling those with expired trials to install it again and use ClamXav
   for 30 days. ($29.95 new, free update, 18.1 MB, [2]release notes,
   10.6.8+)
