Dod Antivirus Software Download ClamX AV

There is no need to run anti-virus programs. The vast majority of anit-virus programs are malware scams. If you are supersticious you could use Clam, it wont do any harm.

Most commercial antivirus software is junk and some of it is harmful.

Also, what is Mac Keeper I just read that it is bad but have never heard of it before.

I have never run it myself, knowing its bad, but this thread should answer your question.

So far, there has really been no need for Mac anti-malware products.

However, I dont want to be stuck wondering what happened if a serious Mac threat comes out.

It could be that OS X continues to not be a focus of malware attacks, and I am not suggesting that there is impending doom.

Malware exists but you have to install it, and you have to supply an Administrator name and password to do that.

Nothing can save you if you come across a dubious website offering iLife 11 full install and you install it with your name and password.

Mac OS X has built-in warnings about phishing sites but there is nothing to stop someone from asking personal information.

Ignore pop-ups that offer to sweep your system for viruses, or that it has already been infected by whatever.

This intercepts Flash content before it can bog down your system.

This will ensure your system has the latest security updates.

The idea that Mac OS X (or that -any- operating system for that matter) is invulnerable is flat-out wrong.

Mac OS X FreeBSDs security model does not prevent trojan horses, or security flaws, although it may be more secure than Windows in some situations.

I suggest you guys look at: vs-pc-battle-on-security-turf2.and then checkout ac I personally run Intego, which generally is fast and has a fair number of add on features.but Im considering switching to Kapersky.

The statement still stands that no anti-virus software should be installed.

The miniscule amount of malware out there is usually not caught by AV software, or will be caught by OS Xs built in protection.
