[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1043914, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. Do not use antivirus software for as strange as it may seem speedie, coming from the Windows world, there are NO repeat NO Mac OS X viri and if you avoid suspect pirate download sites and the such you will steer clear of malware and trojans also. The only recent report of a trojan was with illegally downloaded copies of iWork. Do not bother slowing down your iMac with a firewall or vault . Idf you play to run Windows through Bootcamp or emulation, download Microsoft Security Essentials and run that within the Windows partition. [/QUOTE]
