Since there are NO MACINTOSH VIRUSES…
Just be aware that this is seen by some as splitting hairs.
Well... It's not splitting hairs! Anti-Viral medicine is not going to
protect you from bacterial infections or mishaps. Seat-belts won't
protect you from viruses.
There are currently no Mac Viruses. I instruct my members that Anti-
Virus software is good. It protects their friends that have PCs from
getting a virus passed on from their immune Mac. It's not necessary,
currently to protect the Mac though. What is important is to know how
to handle unsolicited email attachments (and now iChat attachments).
It's also important to know where it's safe to download software on
the internet and where it isn't safe.
I do tell them that it's possible that there might be some virus that
will infect Macs in the future! God knows there are those diligently
working on it. When (not if) it occurs, they will be alerted by many
sources including the Club with instructions on how to avoid and
remove the virus if already infected.
There is absolutely no reason that the average Mac user should have
to live with the paranoia that plagues PC users! It's one of the
benefits of having chosen Macintosh.
