I am not a complete newbie to the Mac world, just new to chat rooms and virtual chatting. There are a few things that I have been wondering concerning Macs and chat rooms.
First, I am wondering if I need to have some kind of antivirus/spyware for this. I have heard that there is some kind of malware that Macs can get thru ichat......how do I avoid getting this on my computer?
Also I am wondering if there are any good chat clients other than ichat. I have tried Yahoo instant messenger, and it is ok except for the fact that the mac version does not allow me to hear audio in chat rooms. Is there another chat client that would allow this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
