[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1310844, member: 42497"] For the iMac if you feel you must having come from the Windows environment, install ClamXAV which is freeware. If you run Windows through Bootcamp etc., download Microsoft Security Essentials, another free program. [url]http://www.clamxav.com/[/url] Most experienced Mac users here do not use any AV software, as there are no Mac OS X viruses, and good safe browsing practices will beat malware. Go into Safari Preferences > General and make sure the box besides Open safe files is [B][I]NOT [/I][/B]selected. [/QUOTE]
