[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1116629, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. Most AV software is run by switchers who have had the need for AV software drummed into them. Trash both of them as there are no viruses for Mac OS X. Windows viruses cannot run on a Unix platform. The only folk who believe in this antivirus software are Nortons and MacScan. Think about it - why pay to download Windows virus definitions that cannot run on your Mac? Safe practices are the best protection. Have a look at this link, which whilst some years old is still accurate as there are no Mac OS X viruses:- [url]http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10331147-263.html?tag=mfiredir[/url] [/QUOTE]
