ClamXav for Mac scans your computer or selected files and folders for viruses to help keep it running smoothly. With clear controls and instructions, this program makes it easy to keep your data safe.
The file freshclam.conf configures the Clam AntiVirus Database Updater, freshclam(1).

This feature requires LogTime and LogFile to be enabled in clamd.conf. The path for clamd.conf file must be provided.
Default: disabledDetectionStatsCountry STRINGCountry of origin of malware/detection statistics (for statistical purposes only). The statistics collector at ClamAV.net will look up your IP address to determine the geographical origin of the malware reported by your installation.
