In the past I tried out clamXav but went back to Norton Antivirus (campus license...and please, no great debates on the pros/cons of Norton vs. the rest of the world). I uninstalled clamXav, but still get cron messages as follows:

/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/local/clamXav/bin/freshclam: No such file or directory

How do I get the clamXav entry out of cron?

I wasn't sure if this would be an apps question or an OS X problem, but I figured since it dealt with cron then it would be an OS problem.

This link should help you solve the problem

http://www.adminschoice.com/docs/crontab.htm

Its a topic more suitable to the UNIX section of the forum than OS X.

Thanks much, that helped a lot. I found the two lines in the crontab the called the clamXav app and deleted them out.
