ClamXav: Virus Scanner for Mac OS X

ClamXav 1.0.7b is a virus scanner for Mac OS X based on the Open Source ClamAV scanner. I can imagine a bunch of you asking why a Mac OS X user would need a virus scanner. There are two reasons off the top of my head: First, if you exchange files with a Windows user, you want to make sure you don't pass along a virus to that person. Second, if you run a virtualzied Windows on your Mac using something like Parallels Desktop for Mac, you don't want to infect yourself!
