Here we use Sophos Antivirus which has a MAC client, we have very few MAC's here but it seems to work fine and gets updates automatically through the same system that updates all the Windows clients.

It is supposed to be a very good product and for a 1 off, I would lean in that direction. At work, we corporately use McAfee across the board, on PC and Mac clients, and have no issues with it.

Free, open source, certainly worth looking into. It's what he uses at home on his personal Macs.

That said we will not install anything from Symantec after the last time we used their stuff and had it NOT find viruses. McAfee may be an option but not one I was hoping to see.

The most common answer you're going to find is "we don't need antivirus/anti-malware." For the most part that is true, as OS X is based on Unix (BSD to be exact, I think.) That being said, there has been some recently publicized (in this list even, I think :)) activity that warrants looking for anti-malware on the Mac. My suggestion would be to check the "usual suspects": McAfee, AVG, Symantec (YUCK!), etc. I just did a little bit of looking (not much, mind) and the ONLY thing I found was Avast! has a Mac version. Trend Micro (maker of PC-Cillin and host of the free on-line virus scanner "antivirus.com<http://antivirus.com/>") makes a Mac version of their stuff, so it's available. You just have to look a lot harder to find it than with Windows anti-malware. :) [cid:[email protected]][cid:[email protected]] From: Jon Harris [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2009 12:21 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Mac Anti-Malware What is a good Mac OS X(?)
