Hi folks, The scare mongers are at it again ! What makes this more despicable is that it is aimed at Seniors. See following:-
Mac The myth that Mac's software is not susceptible to viruses and malware continues to persist among Mac users, but it is not true. Mac's OS X software is much less prone to malicious threats than Windows is, due to both a significantly smaller user base and some differences in the structure of the operating system, but that definitely does not mean that Mac users don't need any antivirus software. If you want the best you can get for free, we've got two options just for you. 1. Avast <http://www.avast.com/en-au/index-mac> If you read the PC section on the previous page <http://www.yourlifechoices.com.au/news/best-free-antivirus-for-mac-and-pc>, then you'll already know about Avast. It is the most popular option for virus protection and it is now available for Mac users. It's easy to use, will scan your files and emails and protect you while you surf the web. 2. Sophos <http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-edition.aspx> Sophos is a light and simple choice for Mac protection, once installed you'll probably forget its there, until it finds a threat that is. You can even schedule it to scan automatically, and like all the other software on this list, it's 100 per cent free Regards, Stephen Chape Mac by choice Windows because my employer knew no better
