Suggestions for Antivirus for Mac OS X

Here’s feedback on v9.2.7, threat detection engine 3.60.00: 

1. In the Quarantine Manager window (“show details”) the path and filename data is longer than the width of the window. Since the window is not able to be expanded (usually by dragging lower right corner) the complete path cannot be seen. Please make the QM window resizable so that we can see the entire pathname. 

2. If after clicking “Clean Up Threat” button the clean up fails, this is not logged. It is important to know the reason for a failed clean up. Please add clean up attempts and failures (and reasons for failures) to the log. 

3. In QM when clicking on a threat listed and then clicking on the Reveal in Finder button, in Finder only the enclosing folder is highlighted. If in fact, as I suspect in this case, the file is not located in the folder it would be very helpful to know that the file is not there (“File not found”, or such) or whatever SVP “thinks” is the problem. And to log this. 

Thanks for a great product.

  • Or make the QM window scrollable...
  • Hey Dave,

    Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm passing everything you mentioned on to product management.

    Just to let you know, there's been talk of doing a UI refresh in the upcoming months, which will hopefully address a lot of these little tweaks that should make the software a lot more user friendly. We don't have a timeline on it yet, but we're definitely hoping to do it.

    Thanks again for your feedback!
  • Have a look at the 9.4.0 preview, we revamped the QM window quite a bit. Its resizable! Yes, we joined the 21st century with this release.

    Completely agree the logging can be better.

    The behavior for Reveal in Finder is intentional, having the Finder select the threat file will trigger the on-access scanner again. Figured it would be better for users to see that happening, rather than surprising people.
