CLAMXAV 2.8.9.1 UPDATE
CLAMXAV 2.8.9.1 PLUS

Since you indicate that it previously found email attachments, that probably means it's detecting the emails that had those attachments and it won't move or delete email to prevent mailbox corruption. You can also find this information in the scan log by searching for line that ends in 'FOUND'. You can do that by clicking in the window that shows the infected items, selecting all -A, then copy -C and paste -V the contents of your clipboard into a reply here. In order to address 2) and 3) I would need to see exactly what is being detected. Clamscan should stop on it's own by quitting ClamXAV, but doing so from the Activity Monitor shouldn't damage anything. I know there is some kind of bug in v2.14 that will stop a scheduled scan if you open ClamXAV while it's running, so could be connected with that. If the computer is shutdown on Sunday at that time, then there will be no scheduled scan.ġ) I don't understand how a scan would start by simply opening ClamXAV unless you selected something in the Scan list and pressed the 'Scan' icon.

If your computer remains sleeping at the scheduled time on Sunday, then the scan should occur when you wake it up. These latter two probably correspond to when I launched the app. According to the log, it ran on June 25 (Sunday) at 3:45 am, then again midafternoon on Tuesday (June 27) and again just now today (June 29).

CLAMXAV 2.8.9.1 UPDATE

Preferences -> Schedule I have set to Update on Sunday at 3:30 am and scan on Sunday at 3:45 am. Just because something doesn't appear there does not mean it will be excluded. The source list only contains items that were originally there and items you have selected to scan. However, the 'Source List' panel of my ClamXAV main window does not have the backup disk in the list, so I suppose this is the right configuration.

The exclude list does include mounted volumes, but you need to drag the icon from your desktop to the prefs window, not from the sidebar of a finder window, or click the plus '+' button at the bottom of the Exclude Preferences window and navigate to that mounted volume. I dragged my backup disk to the ClamXAV Preferences window and it disappeared in a puff of smoke. The Preferences->Exclude Files tab seems to be about files, not disks. My question is: Is there a more elegant way to do this? So I suppose I could follow along and do what it would do. But I can scroll them, and so I can read them. HOWEVER, I can read the AppleScript inside this file by looking at it through the preview (rightmost) pane of a Finder window in Column View. If I drop the file's icon onto a Script Editor icon, the Finder says the same thing.

“ClamAV Engine REMOVER.app” is damaged and can’t be opened.

If I launch it, the Finder puts up a modal dialog which says, Its makers included a convenient 'ClamAV Engine REMOVER.app' file (created ). I have a ClamXAV.app file, version 2.8.9.1, that I apparently installed a year and a half ago, 1/28/16. This happens every Sunday morning, I've tried killing it, but it just comes back the next Sunday morning. My MacOS 10.11.6 system's Activity Monitor shows the 'clamscan' process to be using 98+% CPU time and has been running for nearly eight hours of CPU Time.
