Hi all, thanks for the forum.
I just acquired a macbook from my brother, who's browsing habits are not very secure. I am going to use it for online banking and poker. If it were a PC I would definitely format it because I know he sometimes picks up trojans and stuff. I've heard those things aren't much of a concern with macs.
Should I wipe the machine and reinstall OSX before using it for sensitive tasks? Or is there an online virus checker I can use which can convince me that it's safe?
Thanks for the help!
