   ClamXav 2.5

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Mark Allen has updated the free [1]ClamXav virus scanner to version 2.5
   with improved stability, several new features, and support for OS X
   10.9 Mavericks. The update adds the capability to return files to their
   orignal location if they've been quarantined or put in the Trash,
   enables you to pause and resume scans, and prevents the automatic
   movement of files when scanning email in Apple Mail with the quarantine
   setting turned on. (These three additions are not available with the
   Sentry hard drive monitoring tool.) The release also adds Reveal in
   Finder to the source list, provides 'more useful' summary text, adds an
   option to animate the Dock icon while scanning, avoids a crash if the
   ClamAV engine isn't found, and corrects the French localization. Note
   that as of this writing, the [2]Mac App Store version of ClamXav is
   stalled at version 2.3.6. (Free, 20.5 MB, [3]release notes)
