Summary
Learn about antivirus utilities available for the Mac OS.
Products Affected
Consumer Software, Mac OS
Apple encourages the widespread use of multiple antivirus utilities so
that virus programmers have more than one application to circumvent,
thus making the whole virus writing process more difficult. Here are
some available antivirus utilities:
* Intego VirusBarrier X5, available from the Apple Online Store

The advice in that tech note was bad, even if the suggestion to add
antivirus were valid. Running multiple antivirus programs is a bad idea.
The products cited were not good choices. This speaks more to poor
quality control on what gets posted and not much else.
Does anyone have a copy of the technote? I heard it described as Apple
suggesting that if people felt compelled to get anti-virus software they
should not all get the same one.
