Probably since Microsoft switched off auto-run of macros by default in their products - several years ago if I remember rightly. The infection rate will be too low for a virus to thrive. Still, the only virus I ever had on a mac was an Excel macro virus. About 1994, I think. The last piece of malware I experienced on a Mac was an overzealous commercial anti-virus product thinking it had detected a virus. In fact, it had detected Matlab. Until the viruses are more of a threat than anti-virus scanners, you won't catch me using an anti-virus scanner on my Mac - including clamav. Ironically, I find it necessary to use clamav on our Apple XServe based SMTP cluster in order to protect our Windows users! > Regards, > > David. > _______________________________________________ > Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net > http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex x3148 _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
