Quite a few nice little anti virus things about for the Mac it seems, I've stumbled across something called Protect Mac Anti Virus which is $45.00 for a yearly subscription, I think they have an offer going for an extra month if you buy the product now. anyway - like all software should be for the Mac <smile> - its completely accessible clearly showing you toolbars, detailed status reports, plenty of shortcuts and good menu facilities, in short a well written piece of software in my view and I sincerely hope it does the job I'll be paying it to do, you can download a free 30 day trial at http://www.protectmac.com
