[QUOTE="schweb, post: 556414, member: 59"] For the record, comparing your experience with a PC version of software to what "could" happen on a Mac is pointless and you have to make alot of assumptions, most of which are incorrect. I've run Norton AV on my Mac for years. Absolutely no problems and definitely no noticeable affect on system speed. IMHO, ClamAV on the Mac is poorly supported and it's an awful UI. It had a worse impact on my system performance than Norton. Similar to how Real Player on PC is a pile of steaming poo, but on the Mac it's actually not that bad. As for pointless or not, don't be so quick to judge. There will be a Mac virus at some point, I promise you that. But more importantly for me right now is preventing the spread of viruses on my mixed PC/Mac network. While a virus may not affect a Mac, it certainly can pass it on. [/QUOTE]
