Just wondering who all uses 3rd party virus protection software... the two years i've have my mac i have had no protection and no viruses... am i just being naive? my only line of protection is having two hardrives: one as my boot/application drive and the other for all my music...
just looking to see what other people have... .d. |

QUOTE (lepetitmartien @ Oct 28 2004, 21:31) You can scan all you want to, there's none!  ......but you can use alternatives like Open Office (free and no macro virus). My roomate's PC was just rendered completely in-operational by huge amounts of spyware it accumulated over the last months. So i said "there aren't even any of those for mac" and he says "the next computer I'm getting is gonna be a mac." And - Yeah Openoffice! I want to say that it has gotten me through 1 1/2 years of Brown University so far, and still counting! It just works, and when i need a feature, it almost always seems to have it. Some say an ugly GUI? I say a word processor should be a serious word processor, not that silly thing that is M$ Word. cheers -------------------- -Arvid •• Squish the Squid Productions, Modest Machine
