i would agree with sarah about using sophos.
i have just started using it so i can't say anything about the
quarantene option as i have not had to use that option yet.
rnib's "access it" had an article about antivirus apps i think
and the author said something about using antivirus with systems
running mac and linux.
i certainly now use the antivirus app on my mac after my past
experiences with windows.

Subject: Re: Viruses?
My view points have slightly changed. I used to say no not at
all, but when flash back hit this year and some others I said
maybe. I'm still on maybe. I would use sophos anti virus. It's
free and the only thing that's hard to use is the quarantine
option with voice over but it is quite good.
Take care.

Dear All
I am sure this subject must have been covered in the past
but,
I would appreciate some help.
Is a Virus scanning program required for the Mac and if so -
which is most effective and easily accessible with VO?
Thank you for 'wisdom' dispatched!
