It’s been quite a while since this thread saw some activity. So here goes: last January the CIRCL automatic launch object detection for Mac OS X, a free anti-malware utility was updated. The software is based on an idea by Topher Kessler, and monitors a number of Mac OS X locations known to have received malware files in past occasions. It’s up to the user to allow or disallow such installs, and provides an early warning for potential malware installation.

Other recent updates for free anti-adware/malware utilities include AdwareMedic, Bitdefender Adware Removal Tool, KnockKnock and ScamZapper.
