[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 587811, member: 24160"] There are no known viruses in the wild that can affect OS X at this time. You do not need anti-virus software on your Mac. At the first sign of a virus that can infect OS X, it will be all over the news. All the anti-virus software for the Mac, currently can only find windows viruses which can not affect your Mac. They will help prevent you from passing a virus along via e-mail to any windows friends you may have. If you install Windows on your Mac, the windows partition will be vulnerable to all the same viruses as any other windows machine. [/QUOTE]
