OS X :: Apple Once Again Recommends Antivirus Software
Jun 10, 2009It looks like Apple has again recommended that Mac OS X users install antivirus software.

I don't know what's going on with Apple when it comes to antivirus. They recommend it then backtrack. Now it shows up again with Snow Leopard. It's surely gonna open up the debate as to why Apple has posted the recommendation yet again.

OS X :: Run Antivirus On T Mode?
Aug 10, 2009I have 2 MBPs. One has Intego suite and other other will get Norton Internet Security for Mac in next 30 minutes.
The intego one has a suspect malware. Instead of uninstalling the Intego and installing the Norton, I was wondering if I could install Norton on the clean Machine and then boot Intego machine by pressing T like in transfer mode when you set up a new mac.
Once the HD of Intego Machine is visible, could I run the norton from the other machine on the HD of the intego by right clicking it and say scan for virus etc..
