[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1310967, member: 59143"] This certified "Mac" technician is wrong, sorry. There are currently zero viruses in the wild for OS X. If there were, believe me.. I'd have heard about it. "No more" harm implies that there was harm to begin with. Care to clarify? Again, sorry but.. no viruses for OS X. I've not run into one darned thing in the 4 years I've been running. Neither has my wife, and believe me.. she's not exactly tech savvy. And I don't even touch her Mac. Best virus protection? You and common sense. If you HAVE to run anything, run ClamXav. After all, why would you run a virus check, if there is NOTHING to check for in the first place? And technically speaking, ClamXav checks for Windows viruses because um... yeah, there are none for OS X. If you click on a pop up and you're directed to a page that asks for your credit card number and you give it up... that's no a virus. That's ignorance. Doug [/QUOTE]
