[QUOTE="Mac'sBack, post: 628942, member: 52639"] Priceless point to be made: "Once again, while the amounts of threats to OS X are few-to-none, you should bare in mind a few things. There are a large number of Word and Excel viruses on the Office platform that affect both Windows and Mac users, thus, threatening Mac users. There’s also the unknowing threat of a virus outbreak occurring right out of the blue. Who’s to say that a virus won’t be unleashed overnight and affect millions of unsuspecting Macintosh systems that are all without anti-virus software? Okay, that’s not likely to happen, but it’s not impossible. Now which do you want to be? The guy that says he won’t need antivirus software and then ends up needing it, or the one who can sit back and relax because he has antivirus software, and say later down the line when a virus does hit, “I told you so”? I know which I’d rather be. " My MBP has been acting up and I have no idea why. I also share a TON of Microsoft based files for school and work, and depend highly on my Mac for most things. So, I think I would be an idiot not to use something just to be safe. Free - $40 a month for an anti-virus that gives piece of mind.... worth it. That's just me though. s. [/QUOTE]
