[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1233029, member: 42497"] There are no Mac OS X viruses and few trojans. Safe browsing techniques is the best defense, and if you feel you must for sure use ClamXav. Avoid programs such as Mac Defender, Mac Security, CleanMyMac etc. Best maintenance program is Onyx which is freeware. Regarding Sophos, Nortons etc keep them well away. You pay to download PC virus definitions which cannot operate on the Unix platform and here are no Mac OS X viruses so no definitions.
