Anyone use virus protection?

I know someone already suggested one way, but another way to do this in Safari is to go to Edit> Spelling> Check spelling as you type.

Or right click inside any text entry field, go to Spelling -> Check Spelling as You Type

I know, I mentioned that someone already said that in this thread... post #15.

Oh... I guess that would be the other way. I assumed that nobody said that since the way you posted way seems a bit more tedious than the first suggested way - especially since it only works if a text box is selected.

I do trust Mac but I also run Norton Anti-Virus Corporate Edition to be sure to be sure (as they say in Ireland)

Don't bother with virus protection.

All I use is the firewall built in to OSX, and all that probably does is slow my computer a tad...

...maybe...

...I should turn it off?

I used Windows for five years. My Windows installation never got infected even once. I never used an anti-virus software.

There is more chance of Ballmer appearing in Mac ads than me using anti-virus software on OS X.

When there is enough malware to warrant the use of anti-virus software, then I will use it. Until then, there really is no need to bother.

I assume you were connected to the internet (ha ha)

My friend you should write immediately to the Guinness Book of records.

Five years and no viruses ....... remarkable. Anyone else beat that?

A bit off topic, but...

Hm, Well mine dies as soon as i close the window. Wonder what is different...

This is a bug in the current version of Safari 2.0.4 (419.3), as it doesn't seem to honor the plist entry WebContinuousSpellCheckingEnabled. This seems to have been fixed or applied in the WebKit nightlies, and has been for quite some time.

Using the latest version of WebKit, I don't need to enable it for each individual textbox or for each new instance/window of Safari.

Sure don't.

Thanks, I was wondering how to spell check.

I need to do a google search more.

I use ClamXav to scan all download files, that’s about as much anti-virus I use. It's a great utility and it's free!

Ditto.

Ah, I should have said 'my Windows installations'. I used to re-install Windows every two months. It's been a year on OS X without a re-install.
