[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 765515, member: 24160"] Ditto! But, it is your computer. Every anti-virus program on the market today looks for Windows viruses, which will not affect your Mac. Since there are no Mac viruses, none of them even know how or what to look for in regards to a Mac virus. If, or when, there is that first Mac virus in the wild, none of the current anti-virus programs will protect you from it. As soon as the first Mac virus hits the wild, it will be on every Apple / Mac web site and on just about every news cast in the world within about 4 hours. Then the race will be on by all of these anti-virus companies to become the first to figure out how to combat that first Mac virus. Then, may be the time to consider installing one. Now, if you trade files back and forth with a bunch of windows users, you may have a legitimate reason for having one on your Mac, just to help protect them. [/QUOTE]
