Good product for PCs, but why use it on a Mac? - Version: Dec 7, 12/8/2007 10:01AM PST

ActionAmerica.orgI saw this product on the weekly update and felt that I had to comment. I have used Symantec anti-virus products on PC's, in the past and found them to be well above average products, with timely updates.
However, it amazes me that anyone would use any anti-virus product on a Mac. It's not that there is no possibility that a Mac will ever get a virus. It is however, extremely unlikely. Combine that with the facts that 1) NO OS-X virus has ever been found in the wild, 2) all Mac anti-virus programs are, at best, only fair at finding PC viruses and 3) anti-virus products are more likely than most other types of programs, to cause problems with ANY OS and it means that running any anti-virus program on a Mac is 1) far more likely to cause problems, than find a Mac virus and 2) somewhat more likely to cause problems, than find a PC virus.
Just a thought...
