[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1885265, member: 190607"] Some thoughts: - I don't take my advice on Macintosh malware from anyone who is trying to sell me anti-virus software. It goes without saying that they are not unbiased and that they want my money. - There are over a quarter million people subscribed to this Mac discussion list. How many are posting that they have been verifiably beset by some sort of malicious malware? - The referenced article quotes someone from Apple making a very nebulous statement about malware for the Mac..in the middle of an anti-trust type trial. I don't think that that statement was intended to be cogent advice on whether I need to be extra concerned about Mac malware. If Apple wanted to tell us that we need more than the anti-malware software that is built-into the Mac OS, I think that they have much better ways to do that. [/QUOTE]
