[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1615475, member: 307555"] Yeah, I ran avast for a while. I am a recovering Window-holic. I have worked my way through a long detox program to cure my need for adding anti-virus, malware scanners, additional firewalls, email scanners, you name it to my macs. I have installed it ... and uninstalled it all after figuring out none of it was needed. (I just know a whole bunch of the guys on this forum are saying "we told you so!" and I listened...eventually) So if you feel better, avast is a good one. All it ever caught for me was a couple of emails with attachments I would never have opened that had malware that would have only affected a windows OS and not my mac OS. But when you decide it isn't necessary I recommend reading extensively on this forum as a good start to full recover from the need to install anti-virus. Lisa [/QUOTE]
