anti-virus software

Although not really necessary, you can try using ClamXAV. It's open source and free.

It's not bad if you want anti-virus software.

I don't use any AV software; it's a waste of space to me for the time being. However, check here: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=freeanti+virus+formac&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 and see which one looks good to you.

Best of luck--

There are no viruses for Macs out there. There is malware, but for it to infect your computer, you would have to approve its download and authorize its installation.

Now there is a danger that if you share files and such with a lot of Windows users, it's possible that your Mac could serve as a vector for Windows viruses. If you want something, try ClamXAV; it is spoken of highly here, though I have no personal experience with it.

Good luck!

I have owned about 50 Macs going back to 1984. Never seen a virus on a Mac. Not one.

I have had many viruses on my 5 or so Windows Boxes.

I wouldn't dream of owning a Windows box without anti-virus...I've had 4 laptops, five PC's...and I had issues all the time. Update this, secure that.

I haven't had 1/100th the issues since I got my MacBook. In fact, since I cut Windows altogether last month, my computer worries are nil.

A sign I saw at The Mac Store sums it up: "We miss our PC's... +but our aim is getting better!+
