Good news for Mac users. a free anti-virus program from a company known for its quality PC anti-virus. Avast has always been right up there with the best.
Best part of this - did I say FREE? :-) This article comes from pcworld.com.
"Mac users have been forced to face a cold reality lately—the days of security through obscurity
are over. Macs have traditionally been off the radar, and relatively
safe just by virtue of being Macs. Now that malicious attacks are
targeting Macs, users need to defend themselves. Avast is stepping up to
offer its popular free antimalware software for Mac OS X.
No, malware is nowhere near the scourge for Mac OS X as it is for
Windows. I am not saying the “sky is falling”, and I’m not declaring a
“Macpocalypse”. But, the reality is that malicious attacks exist, and
the threat will continue to grow. Macs have been gaining in market
share, and the growth rate of Mac is outpacing the growth rate for
Windows-based PCs, so the operating system has captured the attention of malicious developers. It’s time to recognize that, and implement security tools to defend against attacks."
