What ClamXAV is
ClamXAV is a paid macOS security product whose stated protection scope is complete security. It includes ransomware protection and offers plans covering different numbers of Macs. Student covers one Mac, Home covers three, and Family Pack covers nine. The Business plan lists scanning-preference controls, command-line control, Mac deployment, Xenia Management Console integration, and volume discounts. ClamXAV provides a 30-day trial, but there is no free plan. The product is made by ClamXAV, which was founded in 2004 and is headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland. macOS is the supported platform, so the stated device counts apply to Macs. The plan structure separates individual, household, student, and business use, with the Business option adding administration and deployment capabilities.
