[QUOTE="baggss, post: 417051, member: 6762"] No, contrary to popular belief Macs [i]could[/i] get viruses, but there are currently no known ones for OSX. Some of the MS Office Macro Viruses can impact Office for the Mac though. To answer the question of the OP, yes they can simply sit on your hard drive and take up space. You can pass them on via E-Mail to your Windows using friends and not even know it. That is perhaps the ONLY reason to run a Virus App on your Mac right now. As for Spyware, there is none, right now. What exactly are "bad" sites? [/QUOTE]
