Which anti virus is the better for macbook, iantivirus or sophos antivirus, both free edition? And, actually exist some virus for mac?
This seems to validate bobtomay's assertion that there is no discernible threat to Macs and my ignorant, or naive, approach was wrong.

If it helps at all, let me say that when I converted to Macs, I installed VirusBarrier X5, then X6. This protection is, allegedly, designed for Macs and specific for them.
Okay. In 3.5 years on a total of 4 iMacs, the record shows not one single virus, Trojan, threat or intrusion has been detected on any of these computers.
In contrast, my Windows AntiVirus detected thousands of potential threats.

I use Sophos Free ... it's very transparent and doesn't even make a difference
Microsoft owns the world computer market with their Windows OS, so why would a hacker worry about trying to hack into a very, very small percentage of computers when they can focus on 90%+/- of the market made up of Windows?
