Here's a huge table from Wikipedia .....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compar...virus_software

It's well worth a look!

No mention, though, of ClamXav.

*Odd*.

Why would anyone trust the user-supplied rubbish on Wikipedia anyway?!?!

I support Wikipedia financially each year.
IMO, it's one of the most trustworthy sites on the Internet.

Wikipedia (and other user-edited places like IMDB) is full of garbage
and lies ... thanks to morons who think they're beling clever or funny.
It's extremely easy to put up some garbage that doesn't get noticed for
ages, if ever, and misinforms people visiting it who are stupid / naive
enough to believe the website is a trustworthy source of information.

I'd be most interested to review an example of what you claim. Can you
provide one?

I always report incorrect information I find ANYWHERE on-line. You
should, of course, do likewise.

You've just proven the point. The fact that people have to report
errors obviously means there *are* errors to begin with, and many
people will already have read those errors believing they are actual
true facts. There are also many errors that will go unreported because
nobody reading those particular pages knows the real facts.

Where do *YOU* go to find out the *REAL FACTS*?

Places that are not "user-added" piles of garbage and lies. Places that
actually have someone who knows what they're talking about is in charge
and actually checking things BEFORE they go live to the public. Of
course there will still be some errors, but far far fewer than on the
"user-added" garbage pits like Wikipedia and IMDB.

I'd welcome some examples of such places.

Please advise. TIA.

As someone else said, it depends on what you're looking for. There is
no single "everything" website.

Having said that, somewhere like Encyclopeadia Britannica website is
far more reliable than Wackypedia will ever be because the facts are
checked by actual experts, not a bunch of internet idiots who *think*
they're experts and a pile of morons who think they're being funny or
clever by posting garbage and lies.

I once again thank you for your thoughts. I'd not considered visiting
Britannica for detailed technical information but found nothing about
antimalware product selection. For general information, though, I will
now visit on a regular basis. :-)

There's an interesting video here, but it's dificult to always
understand the speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ9QKJYcq5A

How would YOU determine whether or not ClamXav was installing a rootkit
on an Apple computer?

I wouldn't be installing ClamXav anyway ... like all anti-malware, it's
completely pointless on a Mac.
