[QUOTE="Kash, post: 347081, member: 23444"] Anti-virus programs for the Mac are a waste of money. Why you ask? Because there are NO viruses for Macs. Sounds like a crazy idea, doesn't it? But I assure you, you are not going to get viruses on your Mac. The only viruses that could ever infect a Mac were proof-of-concept, and even then, they were very complicated and could never propagate in the wild. Also, Windows viruses don't affect OS X, so even if you open an email with a virus attached, you have nothing to worry about. I suggest saving your space and RAM and just enjoy the security that comes with Mac OS X. :black: [/QUOTE]
