Anti Virus software?


i curious run on macs?

use run mse, doubt compatible obvious reasons lol
 

you don't need 3rd party antivirus app keep mac malware-free. macs not immune malware, no true viruses exist in wild can run on mac os x, , there never have been since released on 10 years ago. cannot infect mac visiting website, unzipping file, opening email attachment or joining network. malware in wild can affect mac os x handful of trojans, cannot infect mac unless actively install them, , can avoided basic education, common sense , care in software install. also, mac os x snow leopard , lion have anti-malware protection built in, further reducing need 3rd party antivirus apps.
  1. make sure built-in mac firewall enabled in system preferences > security > firewall

  2. uncheck "open "safe" files after downloading" in safari > preferences > general

  3. uncheck "enable java" in safari > preferences > security. leave unchecked until visit trusted site requires java, re-enable visit site. (this not confused javascript, should leave enabled.)

  4. check dns settings reading this.

  5. be careful install software trusted, reputable sites. never install pirated software. if you're not sure app, ask in forum before installing.

  6. never let else have physical access install on mac.

  7. always keep mac , application software updated. use software update mac software. other software, it's safer updates developer's site or menu item "check updates", rather installing notification window pops while you're surfing web.
that's need keep mac free of virus, trojan, spyware, keylogger, or other malware. don't need 3rd party software keep mac secure.
