The last comparison test of AV products that seems to be from a non-biased source is from four years ago: The Safe Mac (I am aware that I can pay for an enterprise version of DetectX that runs from the command line. I'd like to be able to do that with DetectX. The shell script I wrote to run ClamAV updates the virus definitions, runs a scan, sends a Growl notification of the results and also sends me a brief summary via email. ![]() Either of these would be useful especially when I'm away from home and would like to know the results of the scan.

It did its scan whilst I was sleeping and was there with the results when I got up this morning. I set it up to run via launchd which worked fine. Since DetectX doesn't have a way to schedule it to run periodically, I was asking about the best way to do that. I'd already decided to use ClamAV (free and open source) not ClamXAV (annual subscription fee) and DetectX. Well, this wasn't about what AV software to use.
