-- Posted by koochielala at 10:55 am on Oct. 1, 2008 I recently brought a MACbook, and it came today. The only thing is, I'm not sure if it's protected against viruses. I know our Wireless has a built in fire wall, but which FREE program is best for now? -- Posted by MushroomSatsujin at 11:03 am on Oct. 1, 2008 I dont believe macs get virus's -- Posted by ManicD at 11:09 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from MushroomSatsujin at 7:03 pm on Oct. 1, 2008 I dont believe macs get virus's Then you are a fool. Its just as easy to write a virus for a mac as for a pc. but seeing as very few people own mac's not many have bothered. There are viruses out there for macs. so anti virus is a good idea -- Posted by MushroomSatsujin at 11:24 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from ManicD at 11:09 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from MushroomSatsujin at 7:03 pm on Oct. 1, 2008 I dont believe macs get virus's   Then you are a fool.

And two, what anti-virus programs do they have for macs? -- Posted by Dylan6405 at 2:14 pm on Oct. 1, 2008 With a Mac, you chance of getting a virus is slim to none. There are not many out there for Mac, this is one of the many reasons i prefer Mac OSX to Windows However, McAfee has AntiVirus for the Mac. I don't believe it is free, but McAfee is a good company, and I would reccomend them if you are looking for virus protection -- Posted by The Dark Prince at 4:24 pm on Oct. 2, 2008 As has been said, there are not many viruses out there that affect Mac computers, but as they are becoming more and more popular there will be quite a few soon. However there are some Mac anti virus programs out there, click here to see them. -- Posted by DSlayer375 at 2:33 pm on Oct. 22, 2008 I know that norton do an anti virus for mac, wudnt reccomend it tho. A decent and free anti virus for mac is clamxav, but macs don't really get that many viruses due to their sall user base and security patches.
