—————————————————————-1. - Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide instructions on how
to update the version of ClamAV included with OS X 10.4.7 Server
or greater. DO NOT USE this document to update ClamAV on 10.5.x
Leopard Server. An updated tutorial will follow.
It will guide you through updating to the latest stable version
of ClamAV without breaking Server Admin functionality. The new
version will be installed alongside Apple’s. Thus, it will not
be overwritten by Apple SW updates.
Although the Apple included version of ClamAV is suitable for
most users, there are situations where one might need to update.
A common reason is to take advantage of the latest security
fixes.
This document will require you to use the command line. If you
do not feel comfortable with using the command line, you should
look for a ready made installer package or for somebody to
assist you.
This document is written for Mac OS X 10.4.7 or greater. Before
10.4.7, launchd had some issues which required clamd and
freshclam to be patched. Thus, we focus on 10.4.7 or greater
only.
