I am just now getting around to browsing through the various benefits of .Mac membership. Is Virex from McAfee?
Yes.
I've always used Norton in the past, although I have not purchased an antivirus since I switched to OS X. Several PCs in our family had better success with Norton as well. What is your experience?
I always used Virex under OS 8 and 9, and was pretty happy with it. I just
started using it under OS X and it seems OK so far. Almost any anti-virus
software is probably adequate given the relatively low risk on Macs.
If you're getting a .mac membership anyway, then there's really no downside
to giving Virex a try, since it's a free .mac download. I don't think free
anti-virus software alone justifies a .mac membership, but the peace of
mind may be worth at least part of the cost to you.
Hope this helps,
