ClamXav Plists or MCX's

[Matt]

Been searching around for any info on this and am coming up short. Does anyone have any MCX's or info on controlling ClamXav using Casper?

I don't use it at all, but if there are any associated plist files ClamXav drops on the systems, have you tried converting and uploading them to your JSS to see what keys are present in it?

[Matt]

I did the only key I found was for automatic updating. Would love to know where the Sentry and/or scanning keys are.

I would imagine that this would be of more use, since ClamXav is mostly a GUI wrapper for the clamav unix tools:

http://www.clamav.net/doc/latest/clamdoc.pdf

The executables are located in /usr/local/clamXav

For example, you could schedule a script or policy to run regularly to update definitions using the freshclam command.

Looks like ~/Library/Preferences/uk.co.markallan.clamxav.plist holds a whole heap of stuff, including Sentry locations:

<key>SentryFolderArray</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>WatchSubdirs</key>
            <true/>
            <key>pathName</key>
            <string>~/Downloads</string>
        </dict>
        <dict>
            <key>WatchSubdirs</key>
            <true/>
            <key>pathName</key>
            <string>~</string>
        </dict>
    </array>

I've just done a whole bunch of managed preferences of ClamXAV as I'm looking into the feasibility of using it in our space. I've set all of these to "user level at every login" without issue:
•Alert at completion
•Run Sentry at Login
•Set Quarantine folder
•Quarantine infected files found with scan
•Quarantine infected files found with Sentry
•Scan Email
•Update ClamXAV at launch

I plan to also do scheduled scans and updates along with some other minor settings (such as setting Sentry to look at ~/) but don't forsee any issues as all of these have been successful.

Has anyone tried these with newer versions of ClamXav ?

[chsupport]

am trying to deploy ClamXav and am running into all kinds of trouble... was hoping that someone who had deployed it successfully might be willing to walk me through it.

[rcorbin]

We did some testing with ClamXav but never tried deploying with Casper. But it did look like it was going to be fairly easy compared to others.

This look like an old thread, but I am looking to do the same with ClamXav. Specifically Sentry settings.
