[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1312265, member: 24160"] Not necessarily true. You must realize that the whole reason for definition updates for your A/V software is that they are updated [B]after[/B] some new fangled thing has come out and they've spent the time to figure out how to stop it. Meanwhile, you're still just as vulnerable as the rest of us. Just got my latest copy of Maximum PC yesterday and guess what? Yet another article on getting rid of malware on your PC. Well, this time, and for the first time in pretty much all the articles I've read over the years, they got the first point right. Have a read at: [url=http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/scrub_your_pc_clean_remove_malware_four_easy_steps]Maximum PC | Scrub Your PC Clean: Remove Malware in Four Easy Steps[/url] At this point in time - that Step One is really all it takes in OS X - that is, if you're keeping OS X up to date. And I reckon, anyone not willing to not do the things you shouldn't, then you probably should have an A/V on your machine. [/QUOTE]
