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.

Dear All

What is the current recommendation for anti virus programs for Snow Leopard? My update subscription to X5 expired just prior to updating to SL and I have not renewed as I would like advice from all the "experts".

Thanks

Barry


Did your previous subscription ever report the presence and capture of any Mac viruses? I didn't think so, because they don't exist in any real sense. X5 was just sitting there doing nothing useful and consuming processor resources that could have been used for something else. There may come a time when software like this might become necessary on a Mac, but it hasn't arrived yet.

Save your money.
