I think if Mac users actually needed a decent virus checking program we would have one.....we don't. The only thing that comes close is ClamAVX. When I upgraded my eMac to tiger I thought I would not be able to use it as it was slow as a kid on the short yellow school bus.
I found that Virex was eating most of my cycles. Once removed, my eMac running Tiger was as fast as it was running Panther. I had hoped that when it was renamed McAfee that it would run better. Alas that is all that happened, it was just renamed. My computer screeched to a halt once it was installed.
I have only run into one Mac virus in my life and that was on OS 5 and it was a lame virus that did no harm.
Demand something decent if you want AV for Mac.

If you work for a large company you may be required by your shareholders to prove that you have a commercial/enterprise virus protection suite. ClamX is probably fine for home, but a freeware virus protection application won't sit well with your SOX auditors.Tuesday, November 06 2007 @ 09:28 AM PST
