Hi Adam,

Oh yes, I’ve one client that had trouble with their AppleTV and I located the 
problem to NetBarrier blocking AppleTV … not allowing traffic through.
On another setup it was Little Snitch blocking AppleTV.

I also found when trying to solve why a person could not access the iTunes 
Store, that Little Snitch was the cause.

I’m not a believer that Macs require antivirus software at this time. 
Considering the current level of risk, and the resource intensity of most 
antivirus software, it's hard to recommend antivirus except under limited 
circumstances. 
Sure, if you engage in ‘risky’ online behaviour, use antivirus software.

There are other precautions I would suggest before using antivirus software.

Cheers,
Ronni
