Alejandro , When did you last hear about a Mac virus? I don't like to boast, but..
I practice safe computing and a good router and don't use any anti-virus software at all on any of my 4 macs. Haven't had a virus problem since 2002. All running Leopard. Am I being foolish? I find the need for the annoying McCaffe software when I've used XP quite disgusting. If the OS is so bad you have to use a third party app to 'protect' yourself.... The symbiotic relationship between McCaffee and Microsoft is kinda creepy. There's even a button I did not install that goes to their website imbedded in IE 6. Downloads are almost always easy fast and safe on macs....
