Why the 'Hosts' chose to delete the whole discussion about ClamXav
intrigued me. It wasn't 'logical' as Spock might have said.

it was very logical. there was zero benefit.

I'm surprised that you followed the thread. It ran to many pages of
comments and queries. I saw no contribution(s) from you though.

In fact, there's nobody registered on ASC with the user name of 'nospam'

The developer of ClamXav, if genuine, should have been only too pleased to
answer questions on the forums.

not when they're from dumb**** trolls.

I'd never considered MadMacs0 to be a troll. He made some very
interesting posts IMO.

When one approves the installation of software like ClamXav onto one's
Apple machine, one is giving 'carte blanche' for that software to do
*anything it wishes* on one's computer.

no different than *any* software.

True, but Apple's advice is to install *NO* software unless it's
obtained from the 'App Store'.

"Since the App Store launched nine years ago, millions of apps have been
downloaded billions of times. And we’ve used all that we’ve learned to
redesign the App Store from the ground up. Inside are must-read stories,
expert recommendations, carefully crafted lists, helpful how-tos, and
new ways to find your next favourite app or game. This is the biggest
thing to come to the App Store — since apps."
