Do you like Sophos too? Think I read here on the list that Sophos was pretty good for us. Is clamxav better?

Well, you are correct in that Macs are highly unlikely to be infected with malware..you are also correct in not touching anything 'Norton' other than a motorcycle :-)

Two suggestions:

1) If you feel the need to run virus/malware detection use ClamXAv <http://www.clamxav.com/ >, free and it works, and it doesn't fubar your computer.
