Hi all, I've been watching these virus protection threads for a while and still ask the question:
• What makes you feel the need to have such an animal on your Mac? There are really no virus threats within MacOS X. There were a number of them in OS 9 but most of you, if running Snow Leopard, don't have any OS 9 matter on your computer anyway as Classic is no longer supported. There is the argument that you may unintentionally pass things on as you forward eMails from Windows users but that can be easily managed by watching what's attached to the messages you pass on. check out this article for your own interpretation: http://www.silvermac.com/2008/why-there-are-no-viruses-for-osx/ FYI, I haven't used a virus protection package myself since OS 9 and I don't use them at my place of work either where we're running close to a 1000 Macs. Just my opinion and you can take it however you choose. Thanks.
