Thanks James. Why don't you use virus protection? Is it because Mac's usually don't get viruses? Barbara

This is likely to change in the near future though. The issue of Anti-Virus/Malware is a little contentious among some in the Mac community. As i say, this is changing though. Nevertheless, there are some companies who seem to be reputable. Others on list will be able to advise on accessibility I'm sure. 1. Intego - Virus Barrier X http://www.intego.com/virusbarrier/ You can also get a free version of this from the App Store, which will scan your computer for infections etc, but *you* must run it manually. The paid version is automatic though. 2. ProtectMac http://www.protectmac.com/antivirus/ 3. MacScan http://macscan.securemac.com/ 4. F-Secure http://www.f-secure.com/en/web/home_gb/home TC :) James Also, apart from the Intego site, www.securemac.com often provides good advice.
