How to protect my Mac

I'm a former pc user, and I worry about protecting my Mac from viruses, spyware, malware. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

See Thomas Reed's Mac Malware Guide - and his Mac anti-vurus detection rates.


If you then feel that you still need av software, I have been testing Sophos for Mac, based upon Mr. Reed's detection rates, for about a month now. I've encountered no malware and had no problem with the software. I'm going to use the uninsaller soon - I just wanted to use it for awhile before recommending it.


Good luck,


Clinton
