OS X :: Is Anti-virus Necessary

Jan 10, 2011

I know this is probably an age-old question but I can't seem to find a definitive answer on the internet. Are there any real threats out there for my Mac OS X or is installing an anti-virus just a wiste of time, money and memory? Should I be concerned about passing on viruses through e-mail or USB stick to my colleagues or friends who use Windows? If so, which anti-virus should I use? Is there any real competition between anti-viruses out there?

OS X :: Mac Needs An Anti-virus?

May 15, 2009

Do Macs does not have Virus/ Trojan issues? Is it really that you don't need to buy an anti-virus? I know, it's a PC culture but what about a person surfing the net all the time (or like me who doesn't switch-off the net connection unless there is power supply issues)

OS X V10.5 Leopard :: Mac Has Been Infected With A Flashback Virus?

Apr 25, 2012

My internet will be cut off in 48 hours unless I remove this virus.  I got an e-mail saying I was infected with this flashback virus.  I called Rogers to confirm that it wasn't a phishing e-mail and it is legitimate.  The only thing they did was give me numbers to a paid technical support line, I'd prefer not to call and pay.  I went online and found a tutorial for removing it using Terminal, which I tried and got the error messages which apparently means I'm not affected.  How do I remove this virus before my internet gets cut off? I am operating a MAC OSX 10.5.8 software system on my macbook?

Info:
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Applications :: Do Mac Users Use Anti-virus Software

Aug 6, 2010

I'm a Windows user, recently forced to use the Mac because of work. I bought a Mac mini.

Anywhoo, very basic question - do Mac users generally use anti-virus software?

I used Mac through most of the 90s (again, because of my job) and my workplace didn't use it then. I've also been using Linux for the past 10 years and have never used anti-virus software on it either, and never had any problems.

On Windows I use K7 Antivirus.
