Beside that, an additional application that comes with ClamXav, called ClamXav Sentry, can be set to monitor folders in real time. ClamXav Sentry will sit in your menu bar when activated and silently watches over the folders you point it to. Telling Sentry which folders to watch involves dragging the folders into the ClamXav Sentry window, which can be a little cumbersome if you're trying to select several folders at the same time. When Sentry detects a virus, it pops up an alert that allows you to either put the virus in quarantine (assuming you've set up a quarantine folder), move the file to the trash, or ignore the alert. The application also supports Growl, the systemwide notification feature, which allows ClamXav and Sentry to alert you.

'Back in the days before OS X, the number of viruses which attacked Macintosh users totaled somewhere between about 60 and 80,' Mark Allan (ClamXav.com) says. 'Today, the number of viruses actively attacking OS X users is...NONE! However, this doesn't mean we should get complacent about checking incoming email attachments or web downloads, for two reasons. Firstly, there's no guarantee that we Mac users will continue to enjoy the status quo, but more importantly, the majority of the computing world use machines running MS Windows, for which an enormous quantity of viruses exist, so we must be vigilant in checking the files we pass on to our friends and colleagues etc,' the developer explains.
