My girlfriend's mac needs an antivirus program.
It looks like there a re a few out there.
What's your preferred one?
Any I should avoid?
I use AVG on my PC and it seems pretty good. Basically looking for the Mac equivalent...
Cheers!

have you ever discovered a virus on your mac, Zanf? Do you really think virus protection is necessary?

No but I was hoping it would clear up my herpes. ;)
I use it because I swap lots of files between XP, Linux and OSX so I just like to keep on top of it. If Apple increases its share of the market, it will be inevitable that virii will appear for macs.

Typical windows user - still living in 1998 lol
This isnt a real argument is it? :P
and yeah I agree,
I never used virus protection when i was on PC, and I never use it now on mac.

Ask yourself this: why don't Mac users run anti-virus software? Why don't UNIX users run anti-virus software? Because they don't need to. They don't run as administrators. Sadly, the cost of running as non-admin is severe on Windows, because MS made some early, boneheaded architectural decisions and perpetuated them over a decade. But the benefit is substantial. There's almost nothing a virus, malware, or trojan can do to a user who isn't running as an administrator.

re: no antivirus : statistic for tadaiy! 1 in a thousand pages has a virus
and Thanks to Apple quicktime, MAC users and the rest of us had a fun RTSP protocol malware journey for a while.

I'm almost tempted to check out that program you recommended, Zanf, except it has a big fat warning about backing up all the contents of your hard drive as it might "move things around" or something like that. Makes me shake. I think for now at least I will leave well enough alone.
