Sorry this posting is not up to my usual standards. It posted while I was in the middle of cutting and pasting the specifics of the article before I could include any of the graphics from the article. My internet connection blipped. Go to the link above to see everything in the article.

Thanks for the post. There really is no need for anti-virus on a Mac as long as you do not disable the built-in protection. Even then, you have to be pretty stupid to get infected.

I have a side business writing apps for the Apple Mac and iTunes stores. I have also written and sold Windows software for 25 years, I still do, but most of my business income comes from Apple.

For decades, I have had to keep constant monitoring of my Windows installations to make sure I was up-to-date on AV etc. Adware was the worst. Mac OS X? Nada.

iOS, not jail broken? Please, all the recent hype sounds as if it was written by Google evangelists. Nada, zip on iOS...
