[QUOTE="GulfVetSAF, post: 388338, member: 30067"] Charlotte, I have never used Virex either... however I don't agree with Pulse. It's not that they're not correct (there's not a known virus that affects OS X currently). However, I'm sure you have a ton of friends and family that DO run windows. So, in consideration of others, it's a good idea to keep a virus program on your machine. You could easily have viruses in your computer and email them to someone else... and NEVER know it. I use Norton for mac and it's not memory hungry. Additionally, just because there's NOT a virus doesn't mean there won't be... and personally, I'd prefer to have up to date virus defiinitions and such just in case. I do believe Virex is only compatible up to OS X 9.2.2 so you'll need to look for a different program. Hope this helps and guys I'm not busting on anyone; it's just my stupid opinion! :) [/QUOTE]
