Re: antivirus for mac, is it useful?
It doesn't require it as much as windows, however, I would strongly recommend its use. clamsav is a good free version and is also quite accessible.

Re: antivirus for mac, is it useful?
any A/V program set to scan on open will slow a machine down. you can set it up to scan on a schedule or only look at specific filetypes. I use clamsav on a once per week schedule here. most default settings are good enough for the casual user and shouldn't present too many problems. -eric On Dec 27, 2013, at 5:02 AM, Ramy Moustafa wrote: > Thanks so much for that, but will it slow my machine? > > And will I scan file by file as I do in windows?

Re: antivirus for mac, is it useful?
Common sense only goes so far. A lot of people brag about how it has no viruses, but there are viruses out there for OSX and the market is getting larger. This means that the returns of writing a virus for OSX are much higher. Common sense is useful, but in today's world it's not everything. If someone gets infected and the virus spawns through email/etc, it's already been easy enough to infect people through graphics with exploits on the format, etc etc. On 12/26/2013 10:20 PM, Mike Arrigo wrote: Personally I don’t, but I think some people do, so it’s up to you.

Re: antivirus for mac, is it useful?
I’d recommend downloading virusBarrier (from the app store). Mac’s however don’t generally get Viruses. You have a small chance of getting one if you download a lot of 3rd party apps that you can’t find in the app store, past that it’s unlikely.
