Need name of good security software for my Tiger Mac

Hi Kate, Free Sophos...

System requirements

Not sure if Sophos Anti-Virus will work on your Mac? These are the technical requirements:

• Mac with Intel or PowerPC processor
• 256 MB of memory
• 150 MB of available disk space
• Mac with OS X 10.4 (Tiger), 10.5 (Leopard), 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or 10.7 (Lion)
• Supports all Apple Mac hardware including iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro and the new MacBook Air

What make you think you need security software for your Mac?

Your Mac certainly doesn't need AV software seeing as how there are none. All the AV software does on Macs is cause troubles.

What are you trying to protect against? There are no viruses for Mac OS X, so it won't help with that; there's only a few harmless malware items, so it won't help with that, either. The only thing Anti-Virus software will do is cost you money, cause endless frustration, and protect you against nothing.

Methinks you do not worry to much, attacks are on there way though we Mac users have been mostly lucky so far!:)

Mac OS X is built on a Unix base. Unix has undergone 30 to 40 years of hard usage in an University environment. Time will tell.

There are also more security versions of Unix, like SEUnix. Thus, there is a known path to a greater level of security if necessary.

Howdies,

I'm currently running a G5 (late 2004) and for my security, i'm running and older version of ClamXav (version 2.2.1)... I forgot where i got it from but you can google it.. It's free...
