Um... anyone know any legit viruses for Mac OS X?
Anyways, Virex is sorta garbage... eUpdate works half the time and is unfixable when it decides it doesn't want to work on a particular machine... updating virus definitions manually is a solution that works for ME, but not when I have a university full of Mac OS X boxes to update...
Maybe it's time to script something into the cronjobs of all the machines that I deploy utilizing rsync or something... :)
McAfee VirusScan
virus protection utility (was Virex)
Version: 8.6.1

Personally, I use OpenOffice. Screw macro viruses.Been to the McAffee site recently? They have one page for Mac products, and clicking any link on that page related to support or downloads goes to a PC-only page. This software and company is a joke.
Switch to something with more emphasis on functionality and form than weasling users into a false sense of security just because it bears the name McAffee (Virex).
clamAV is a unix anti-virus package... recently there has been a Mac OS X GUI tool for managing clamAV... http://www.markallan.co.uk/software.php?page=clam

Yeah, the Melissa Virus. It's a macro virus for Microsoft Word/Microsoft Office... yeah, go figure, Microsoft stuff. But it can use macs to propogate itself if they have Microsoft Word, macros enabled, and open an infected document.Reply to This
