Hi Julie, I don't think clamav existed when Mac OS 8(1997) & 9 (1999) where out and clamav can't really be compiled on Mac OS 8 or 9 since Mac didn't have gcc for the Mac OS at that time. Can someone at clamav correct me if I'm wrong on the first release of clamav. You can use install 10.4.11 along with your older Mac classic environment (if space on your hard drive allows) and then install Developer Tools on 10.4.11 and then compile clamav on the 10.4.11 side and then scan the entire disk the from the 10.4.11 environment. You can boot to either older classic (8.6 or 9.2) or 10.4.11 as needed. Remember 10.4.11 will very slow on the G3 systems so be patient. You can't use 10.4.11 with Mac 8.6 as the classic environment (use 8.6 applications while running 10.4.11) but with Mac 9.2 you can. I have a Mac Mini PPC that I run Mac 10.4.11 and 9.2 on. Also you can try clamXav, which is a graphical interface for clamav. http://www.clamxav.com/
