Karen,
At the "request" of my company I have NAV on my PowerBook. It seeems to be relatively unobtrusive, aside from the occasional auto-update. As for its value, I certainly haven't been inclined to buy it for my other macs. It was considered essential for all due to widespread problems with the company PCs (you know, those boxes that are so much easier to support. lol).
In 18 yrs of Mac use I have encountered a grand total of one purely Mac virus: a WDEF virus in the days of System 6. In the past 8 yrs I have seen several Word macro viruses from PC users, but all you really need to do against those is enable "macro virus protection" and "prompt for changes to global template." Then just pay attention when you get the messages those settings send when macros (virus or not) arrive.

I wanted to get an antivirus for my Mac (G4 powerbook OSX 10.3.5) and wanted to hear which ones you all thought were the best.
thanks karen
