[QUOTE="Louiseg, post: 1254594, member: 205168"] Hi, just purchased imac 21.5, as a previous windows user for around 10years i was wanting to know if the whole not needing an antivirus with mac is true. I will say sorry in advance if this is an over talked about topic but coming from windows where i had kaspersky pure internet security running constant i find it hard to just switch on imac and surf net, log on to my digital banking etc without the added backup..makes me really nervous :Smirk: i have switched firewall to stealth mode and my wireless router is fire-walled as well. Plus any advice for downloading etc, i was using winmx on my pc but i take it this will not work on imac. Thanks in advance for any help and sorry if this sounds totally dumb!!!! [/QUOTE]
