Re: anti-virus/malware
Currently there are no self-replicating, self-transmitting, self-installing viruses for Mac OS X. There is also no Adware or Spyware save for about twelve Trojans. However, ClamXav is a free OS X anti-virus that will identify WINDOWS viruses that you might inadvertently pass on in email or files you might share. I do not run any AV at all. I haven’t for more than eight years. Neither does Charlie Miller, the guy who just won the CANSECWEST hacking contest by hacking into a Mac. As of now, it just isn’t necessary.
“I do not run any AV at all. I haven’t for more than eight years.”
Same here and the five years before that I had a PC that was always getting a virus even with the best anti-virus protection.
