Right, I have a couple of questions that is gonna make myself sound very silly.
I have recently reformatted my Mac and am debating whether of not to install a new antivirus, my old one was Norton and wasn't very good. A couple of friends said don't bother with the antivirus because it will slow down the machine, and Macs very rare get any which I have always known, but I transfer stuff from multiple machines and download attachments and other stuff on a daily basis, so any suggestion at all?
We have marco virus at work and I have been creating a lot of word docs at my mac at work before I discovered that, I am a little scared to open them on my own Mac at home, because I don't want to get infected. If I was to save them word docs as PDFs (I don't need to amend them anymore, just for records), would they then be safe to open on my Mac? How exactly does marco virus infect others? And what other programs could the marco virus be hidden?
Really sorry for these silly questions and thank you.
