[QUOTE="geekboy2000, post: 178314, member: 15055"] I've read a lot of the discussion surrounding security on a Mac, most recently, a post that just made Digg's front page: [URL]http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4609968.stm[/URL] I don't run as Admin, have SPAM under control, never open attachments that are in any way suspect or from un-trusted sources, have a secure password, and am behind a router/firewall. Having said that, I *do* have a Windows machine on the network. IMO, Symantec (based on what I know of their products in the Windows world) won't ever end up on my Mac. If I use any A/V product, I'd prefer the benefits outweigh the damage it might do. So, with that in mind, is Virex decent/worth installing? Is *any* A/V app necessary in the opinion of you folks here with experience? Many thanks, Mark [/QUOTE]
