[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 628960, member: 24160"] Any virus that hits the wild and will be able to run on your Mac will not be found, nor stopped, by any of the current anti-virus software. All of the available anti-virus software, including the ones that run on Mac's only find Windows viruses, which will not run on your Mac to begin with. Free - $40 a month, for something that will do no good at stopping any virus that hits your Mac, is either a waste of your system resources, a waste of your money or both. And peace of mind - think again. Now, on the other hand, if you're concerned about stopping any Win based virus you may have collected on your machine and would like to prevent passing it on to your Windows based friends, that may be worth something.
