Bottom line and according to MAC by design is impervious however, most major brands norton, anti vir, avg make a "mac" compatable version just because "mac" users must have it. You are wasting time and money. Seriously, as far as i can remember there was 1 mac attack in the last 5 years and mac patched it less then 24 hrs.
