Re: Anti virus software

Well, this is interesting as I haven’t used antivirus since buying my first Apple Mac in 1986. I thought the regular security updates from Apple were enough. Presumably if one wasn’t SPAM aware a virus or similar could corrupt the system, otherwise do we really need AV? Marcus Marcus Harris 74

Re: Anti virus software

Hi Jennifer I have used Intego Virus Barrier and Net Barrier for many years. As far as I am aware the only one made specifically for Mac. Doesn’t have any noticeable effect on performance either. I believe all the others are offshoots of Windows software. > On 17 Apr 2018, at 10:02 am, Jennifer

For years I have used Intego Virus Barrier and give it a full thumbs up. After bad experiences, admittedly years ago, the name Norton is a real turn off for me. Severin Crisp On 20/08/2012, at 12:07 PM, F.W. Hänel whae...@iinet.net.au wrote: Hi all, I was reading about 2 of the free

Re: Anti Virus Software

Clam AV X is donation-ware and the latest beta build is Snow Leopard compatible. Even though there may not be danger in the wild for Macs yet it's sometimes good to know that attachments you receive and possibly pass on don't have nasty surprises. Clam does just fine at that. On
