Hi Marcus. Perhaps Intego protection is a “Placebo”. Or perhaps it works ! At the very least I feel more secure by using it. Consequently I worry less.
In the same way that my home is very secure with good locks (using keys) and security grills. And a monitored alarm system. So far I have NOT been burgled. Is that because of my security diligence? Or am I just lucky ? I don’t know … but so far I feel good about it. > On 17 Apr 2018, at 2:26 pm, Marcus Harris <cryptodo...@me.com> wrote: > > Well, this is interesting as I haven’t used antivirus since buying my first > Apple Mac in 1986. > I thought the regular security updates from Apple were enough. > Presumably if one wasn’t SPAM aware a virus or similar could corrupt the > system, otherwise do we really need AV? > Marcus > > Marcus Harris 74 iPhone7 > > On 17 Apr 2018, at 1:43 pm, Stephen Chape <chap...@bigpond.com > <mailto:chap...@bigpond.com>> wrote: > >> Hi Jennifer >> >> I have used Intego Virus Barrier and Net Barrier for many years. >> As far as I am aware the only one made specifically for Mac. >> Doesn’t have any noticeable effect on performance either. >> I believe all the others are offshoots of Windows software. >> >>> On 17 Apr 2018, at 10:02 am, Jennifer Lefroy <lefroy.jenni...@gmail.com >>> <mailto:lefroy.jenni...@gmail.com>> wrote: >>> >>> I was told by mu server - Zettanet - that I should have antivirus software >>> installed.
