[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1010013"] Uh, what? Um, no ... 1. If a Windows user hands you an "infected" file, guess what it will do? NOTHING. The worst thing that could happen is that you pass it on to another Windows user, but really you'd have to be pretty dumb to do such a thing. 2. There's no viruses for Macs. And if there were, they wouldn't affect Windows users. If you want to waste your own resources installing a Mac anti-virus program on the EXTREMELY low possibility that you might stop yourself passing on a Windows virus, be my guest (and use Clam AV X, its free and open-source). I've been using computers since the late 70s and haven't managed to pass on a virus to anyone ever, but hey maybe I just lead a charmed life. Please see the [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/switcher-hangout/23835-official-mac-antivirus-firewall-faq.html"]Official Mac Antivirus and Firewall FAQ[/URL] on this very forum for more information.
