[QUOTE="Archangele, post: 1044397, member: 152739"] Hi, I just ordered my first Mac and being new to the Mac OS, I was wondering if I need any sort of virus protection software for the Mac OS? I also plan to set this guy (a 27" Imac) up as a dual boot. Can I just set up one of my licensed copies of AVG antivirus software on the Windows partition of my hard drive to protect Windows when I am using that O.S.? One other thing. If I were to get a virus or trojan while using Windows, is there any way it could affect the Mac partition? I don't see how it could, but being new to this platform, I figured I had better ask, just in case. Thanks, [/QUOTE]
