Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Recommend Product: NO

So far there are still no virusses for Mac. yes laboratories have claimed to have them. And it is not that hard to make a double-clickable
rm -fr /
and get that into an email. But a virus is something different than stupidly double-clicking everything you encounter.

So, Stop being your Windows' neighbour anti virus tester!

The only reason you want this, is when you own a company and want to be sure you don't forward (forwarding means: you received an infected email from a windoze user before!!!) an email message containing a virus.

Imaginable for companies to do so, but normal consumers using this just got grabbed by Mr. Symantec and the whole Windoze anti-virus mockup. Why don't you try and find Ad-Aware in a Mac version too!!! (P.S. yes a few 'phone-home URL's that some installed apps tend to have built-in in Mac is really going to strain an ADSL 8mb/1mb line. Spyware and 'phoning-home' for just a regular update checkup is something different)
