Anti Virus software - Mac
Looking fro some opionions on a good anti virus software for my Mac. Something preferebly that dosnt use a whole lot of CPU power?
The only one that comes to mind is Intego Virus Barrier. I guess you can disable the background checker if you’re worried about a few extra CPU cycles.
I would’t trust anything by Norton though. I’ve got a personal vendetta against them and also suspect that they produce around 60% of the viruses themselves <__< but that’s just between you and me 
Norton … I had it for a year. No idea if it ever did anything. In fact it did jack shit.
I know Norton screwed my g/fs laptop up.
So i agree with Alex , stay the fuck away from Norton.
Ive got 4 Macs and never bothered with Anti Virus appart from that one time.
Suppose its only a matter of time before Macs start getting hit good and proper.
I should invest.
I accidently bought a 3 user McAfee for my 1 Dell desktop (doh). Wonder if they do Mac protection, maybe i could get one of my licenses transfered.
Im talking shit i know!!!
So far I got good results with ClamAV, which is free by the way.
I used to dislike it because it used almost all of the resources when scanning, but the new version seems to have cured that habit. Not it runs very smooth for me and does an automated check on every volume I connect to my mac. Becomes rather embarrassing for my Windows-using friends when I spot viruses on their USB-Drives 
I can only second (or technically third) that opinion on Norton- it’s no good on PC and Mac doesn’t get any special care- so better stay away from it.
if it runs on a mac, i’d suggest AVG (version 9 now) used it for last couple of years with no problems, it’s now on my laptop, wifes laptop and the media/file server pc
It doesn’t

Why run an anti virus program? I know its always good to have one, especially for a pc. Mac owners are living an a era equivalent to, pre aids post coke in the USA. Ill rather not tax my cpu or have a anti virus software corrupt my OSX. To be safe I always go to reliable sites and get my data from good sources.
still could get a virus though…
Just found that MacHeist have a new nano bundle with 6 apps for free, but if you share the link on facebook you get Intego Virus barrier for free.
Thought I’d give you guys the heads up 
You can join a perfect clone site of your banking account site and get caugh by a virus or something like that… 
Been using Apple computers since the 80s… you DO NOT need an anti virus program…
As have I since mid 90’s and to be honest I don’t use one or see a need for one in the near future. However sometimes it’s required by your workplace or maybe you’re just looking out for you’re Windows using friends and don’t want to pass on a virus to them.
I don’t care about my friends using windows, thos people need to be converted to mac users! 
Anti-Virus programs are good if your using your computer on the internet, but they have no place on a music machine - all they do is cause issus. You should verify before hand that what your putting on your music machine doesn’t contain any virus’s.
This Advice goes for Mac just as much as it goes for PC.
