[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1710211, member: 190607"] Except that until that threat comes out, and your AV software is updated, you don't have any barn door to close. Meanwhile, Apple has, in the past, provided barn doors when necessary. As for "waiting for the first malicious hack against Mac OS X"; it's been twelve years. When is it coming? I have AV software installed myself. (Virus Barrier.) Not because I think that I need it (I don't), but because it would look bad to my clients not to have it. For 12 years it has protected me from...nothing. If you don't mind the slowdowns and software conflicts caused by anti-virus software, and you don't mind paying for it, and it makes you feel good to have it, go for it. [/QUOTE]
