[QUOTE="SparkyMac, post: 1596202, member: 329439"] Macs can get viruses. There's certainly fewer than our Windows counterparts but the risk is still there [url]http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000737.htm[/url] I use ClamavX and choose the downloads and Mail folder to scan in 'live mode' because it can detect Windows viruses/malware. I think it's always good to get rid of them before emailing a Windows user. Sophos AV for Mac is particularly good for this but, from my own experience, can occupy your CPU and memory more than ClamavX. "Loving the OS X Yosemite bugs right now :P" [/QUOTE]
