[QUOTE="MikeM, post: 1396359, member: 39238"] I have to agree here. I'm one of the few that does run AV on my Mac (Norton) and in my opinion, an ounce of prevention is well worth a pound of cure as we are seeing with these outbrakes. The idea that [U]only[/U] porn, filesharing and other obviously questionable sites will lead to malware on your system is long over. All it takes is one respected site to get comprimised for a mass outbreak to occur. IMHO, AV's benefits are not limited to Windows PCs, but any internet connected computer of any flavor. Is it a requirement, no. but if my data, passwords and accounts are safer as a result then for me it's worth the slight performance hit. [/QUOTE]
