| I wouldn't flame anyone for using a Mac antivirus program.
But, as I understand it, there are NO Mac viruses that affect OS X. The pre-OS X viruses would require Classic if they worked at all. And they'd have to be well behaved (no protected memory violations, for example) or they'd crash and burn. Does anyone have experience with pre-OS X viruses in OS X?
As far as Word macro viruses, well, don't use the macro unless it's from a trusted source. And Word is set for macro virus protection by default.
I haven't run antivirus software since I sold my Compaq _four_ years ago. And I haven't used anti-spyware software for the Mac at all. Anyone know the best anti-spyware software for OS X? (wink, wink, just a joke)
