Anti Virus is not a "Must Have" if you're using a Mac, though I'd consider Anti spyware of particular importance.
If you're using your Mac on a network with Windows PC's then Yep, I'd personally recommend a good anti virus package, its probable your Mac won't be infected but that doesn't mean your Mac can't pass on viruses, act as a carrier in other words and that's where an Anti Virus package is handy as it can stop viruses spreading in their tracks by cleaning infected files, detecting malicious code etc. On 20/02/2011, at 6:23 AM, dyer matthew wrote: > Hi, > > I myself do not use any anti virius software on the mac side what so ever. > I just use the machimne as is with no problems what so ever.
