[QUOTE="Temp, post: 15967"] Hmmm...I should have been more clear in my request. Yes, a [B]Mac[/B] can get a virus, however, from what I learn so far there are [I]few[/I] Mac viruses out there and getting one is the equivalent of a freak accident. With basic viruse problems, I am aware that Norton AntiVirus is the way to go. However, I am still in the dark about Mac and Trojans, Worms, and Spyware. I will take everyones word on that issue at this time, because, I understand that Mac computers don't have a lot of the problems that PC have to put up with. However, I would like to know what Mac related software is available on this issue. No, defragmenting doesn't effect a Mac's perfromance like it will a PC's. However, after about a year or two of [I]heavy[/I] use it can slow it down. I was wanting to know what programs are available on this subject. Now, here is the [I]main key[/I] to my request. I don't want just [I]any[/I] program that deals with these subjects. I want: [B]A[/B]: The best money can buy. [B]B[/B]: Programs (i.e. Defragmenter; Firewall; Trojan, Worm, and Sypware Detector/Remover) that have won [I]many[/I] awards for what their program can accomplish. However, don't feel discourage if my reply doesn't go well with some of you. I am not correcting anyone and I am very thankful for the help you have offered. I just saw this going in a different direction than I had planned, and I think it is because I didn't supply enough information as to what I was searching for. For that I do apologize. [/QUOTE]
