[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1396127, member: 42497"] As Brunhild says most experienced users here do not use AV software as there are no Mac OS X viruses. A handful of trojans however safe browsing practices prevent these. Have you downloaded the latest software updates from Apple? Also if you use Safari go into Preferences > General and make sure 'open safe files' at the bottom is [B][I]not [/I][/B]selected. Having said this if you are still concerned about viruses download ClamXAV and use that. It is freeware and will not bloat your computer. Suggest giving Sophos a miss.
