Open-source components

Antivirus Zap is built on our own scanning code together with well-known open-source projects. This page lists the bundled third-party program and its licence.

ClamAV

Antivirus Zap includes command-line programs from ClamAV, the open-source antivirus engine maintained by Cisco Talos, and uses the ClamAV signature database alongside our own threat signatures. The ClamAV programs run as separate helper tools inside the app.

To receive the exact source code for the ClamAV version bundled with your copy of Antivirus Zap, email antivirus.support@antiviruszap.com and tell us your Antivirus Zap version. We will send it at no charge.

ClamAV is a registered trademark of Cisco Systems, Inc. Antivirus Zap is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cisco.

Other libraries

The direct-download Pro edition uses Sparkle (MIT licence) to deliver software updates. Other open-source libraries used by the app are credited in the app's About window.
