So, we should install Antivirus software on our Macs JUST IN CASE a virus is created and propagated? I often wonder why the heck there are monthly virus definitions updates. What is being downloaded?!
This is a waste of time and money. I won't be bothering to install anything until there is an actual confirmed virus that I can't protect myself against by normal means. (i.e. not opening an attachments, etc)
Symantec Norton AntiVirus

I don't recall Norton Antivirus (I have version 9, not installed) having e-mail protection, or does the Mac version of the program detect PC viruses in mail files?Thursday, May 12 2005 @ 07:56 AM PDT

Norton support is built into WebStar V for the Mac. And yes, it does scan for both Mac and PC viruses.Monday, May 23 2005 @ 03:55 PM PDT

The point is that those of us running mail servers can use this product to scan our incoming and outgoing emails, considering we have both Mac and PC email users of our Mac based email system.Reply to This
