I only use Microsoft's Security Essentials now on my Windows machines-hoping Apple keeps up with their built in security stuff as well. The 3rd party stuff on Windows was always more trouble than it was worth keeping up with-haven't had any issues with MSE. |

Another virus I received was attached to a screensaver I downloaded from Toyota. Never assume that because it's from a kosher site that it isn't virused. |

I have virus & malware protection on my Mac. It has protected me from one attack so far.
