[QUOTE="doughboy, post: 826543, member: 31637"] [b]anti virus[/b] I've wondered this myself. I've been a Mac user for years and had Norton only for about a year. I know that there are far more risks with the Windows side but what about someone attempting to 'hack' into my Mac? Is that possible? (please pardon my ignorance on this issue) I knew a guy who was home on his computer one night very late he was able to detect a someone out on the street parked in a van that had a laptop trying to get into his computer. He went out and approached him and chased him away. Is that not possible on the Mac? If so, would not having anti virus leave you open to this intrusion? [/QUOTE]
