The tech note is badly written and poorly thought out. Apple was right to delete it.
The problem is that this is a tough question to answer, liability wise. The right answer is that Macs do not need antivirus software. But in a commercial setting, anyone providing such advice is taking on a potential liability. It is one of those "Black Swan Theory" situations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan_theory). You can't live your life believing in every potential black swan, but now and again you will encounter one. >After reading the technote Andy posted and then this from John D, where he >says 'they should not all get the same one.' They and All who? All the mac >users? I thought the same thing actually as John had heard it >described...but actually looking at it, how would *all* the mac users end up >with the same anti virus anyway? Apple was therefore advising users to get >several different AV products for each machine. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
