Howto Install clamav on OSX with brew

Note: on legacy intel system the path may be /usr/local/etc/clamav instead of /opt/homebrew/etc/clamav/

$ brew install clamav
$ cd /opt/homebrew/etc/clamav/
$ cp freshclam.conf.sample freshclam.conf

Open freshclam.conf and comment the "Example" (in new version it may be "FooClam") line:

# Comment or remove the line below.
# Example

Update database:

 $ freshclam

Run scan on all your files:

$ clamscan -r --bell -i /

Thanks @gagarine

minor update - the clam conf files are now located at /opt/homebrew/etc/clamav/ after installing with homebrew.
