[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1035643, member: 24160"] You can't even run multiple anti-virus apps on a windows machine simultaneously and expect any one of them to function properly. While I agree, get all of that stuff off your Mac and get over your Windows paranoia, if you're going to use one, pick one, and get rid of the others. If you want to try more than one, then you will need to remove the first one... [B]before[/B] you put a 2nd one on the machine. And, as suggested above, you need to use their uninstallers, no simple drag and drop to the trash with these as they do make modifications to system folders. (Aqua: A virus could be passed from a Mac via email. You receive an attachment with a Win virus in it and then forward that attachment to your windows using friends. It still would do nothing on your Mac. This is why the requirement for an A/V even on Macs in many institutional / business settings.) [/QUOTE]
