why would you want to run an anti-virus when the number of viruses on Mac OS X is 0.0 ?

There are valid reasons.


Actually Jim, if you're happy working on a command line you might want to take a look at the Clam Anti-virus scanner. There is a fink package for it, do 'fink describe clamav' for more info. I suspect it is all you really need.

I have freshclam (part of the clamav package) run from a cron job to download fresh virus definitions twice a day, and I'm using clamscan via clamassassin/procmail to scan all my incoming e-mail.

Does a better job than spamassassin of catching those annoying windoze e-mail worms that we all get bombarded with these days - I know they can't damage my system but they are a nuisance.
