Apple FUD Ping!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
What do you recommend for Mac users? Is it time to get antivirus software? Is there a good free one, like with PCs?

Is Sophos for real — or the ultimate intruder?
Windows users normally load up their computers with antivirus and anti-spyware programs. As a result, the typical PC is like the Great Wall of China. On the other hand, you have arrogant Mac users who believe they’re invincible and don’t bother to protect themselves. Virus writers eventually start taking note of this and focus their efforts on Macs.
I have a free iAntiVirus. I have never had a virus. Either it works or just like to read 0 or protects. I have never had a Windows like virus thats for sure or any such. I am 2 years with my first Macbook pro. Also have on second Mac Mini. It doesn’t hurt thats for sure. It has a weekly schedule. I hope this helps. http://www.iantivirus.com/

ABBA? What year is this; 1975?
Since it launched its free Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition software, Sophos has reported that there has been 150,000 downloads and from this it has determined the most commonly encountered malware that these Mac users are encountering.Are they saying that Microsoft (Windows) Media Player runs on Mac OS-X???? I've got Flip4Mac, but that's not Media Player. WTF?The most popular is Mal/ASDFDldr-A, what Sophos detects as malicious files that use the scripting capability of Microsoft Media Player to force your web browser to visit an infected site.
