Where does OS X store ClamXav files?

Spent a frustrating half-hour looking for them. Not in Application Support. Didn't see them in the System files (unlikely to be there, anyway) and in any case it's not a good idea to mess with System files in OS X.

Google didn't help.

They've got to be in User/Library somewhere but damned if I can find them and neither can Spotlight.

Does anyone know where they are?

It's not that I want to uninstall Clam but I do need to delete one file.

 

i think macs keep all the files in one directory like a standalone app so you could try running this from the terminal-

Code:

which clamxav

change clamxav to whatever runs clam from the terminal.

you can use the find command too, like this -

Code:

find / | grep clam

change / for somewhere else if you think you have an idea which directory it should be in i.e. /applications.

actually, run locate first, locate is far faster (if macs have it?)
locate clam
or
locate clamconf
or locate any of these which calm uses on linux -
clamscan, clamdscan, clamav-config

you can try having clam running and run this too -

Code:

ps -aux |grep clam

i'm not sure how sensible any of those ideas are for finding stuff on a mac, it should help if all files are in the same directory.

EDIT: it's worth getting a book on the shell macs use, i think bsd systems normally run a C type shell, i think you can check which you use by running this -

Code:

echo $SHELL

i looked it up and this will tell you -

Code:

ps | grep `echo $$` | awk '{ print $4 }' 

that helps make my point, i've never bothered reading a book on shells, if i had i probably would have known that last command lol

 

TY Iceni, I found it. It wasn't updating properly.
