Mac AntiVirus

[MDP91]

Hey peeps,

I recently purchased a new top spec 15" MacBook Pro, and ive always been told that there's no need for anti-virus software on a Mac. But after some searching there seems to be tons out there....so is it worth it...? Pro, cons etc...?

Thanks,

No need at all.

Ok, is there any kind of security software that is worth using on a Mac?

Just enable the built in firewall within the Mac OS. Thats all you need.

For most people I'd say don't bother on a Mac, although if you either will be doing, er, questionable things on it or are working with it in an IT security related field then I would.
