I am wary of asking this question since for some reason it's such a sensitive subject, but I will proceed.
I am getting my first Mac. I want some type of "safeguard" to make me sleep better at night. Please accept that I want something, so if you don't have a software suggestion to make, please do not respond to the thread.
I am not interested in the difference between virus and malware and spyware, etc. If someone has a recommendation for a program that helps to shield against any of it, real or imagined, I would be curious to know what that recommendation is.
I did a search and I just found a bunch of people saying, "Mac don't get no viruses, dummy!!" "Name one, just one!" (that one is real popular).
Please do not tell me that my best course of action is "safe computing practices". No kidding.
Ultimately, this question is only for those of you running something. If you are, what are you running? Does OSX do anything natively?
If you are not running any sort of "protection" I would like to politely say that I am not interested in you.
My intention is to keep this thread argument-free and short. I've heard another user recommend ClamXav but I don't know anything about it. Anyone else use this?
