[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1456249, member: 24160"] Just consider for a second - if the anti-virus software your Windows users have couldn't detect it (likely because it was something new and there were no definitions for it yet), what makes anyone think an AV software on your Mac would catch it? However, in a business setting, some folks are just not going to get that. I would probably bypass the free stuff out there and pony up for the pay version of either [URL="http://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/antivirus-for-mac.html"]BitDefender[/URL] (the current PC Mag editor's choice) or [URL="http://www.eset.com/us/home/products/antivirus-for-mac/"]Eset[/URL]. See post #36 above. For a free one, grab ClamXav - it's in the App Store. [/QUOTE]
