I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The reality distortion field generated by Steve Jobs isn’t going to protect your Mac from viruses and trojans. That is a growing threat that Mac users need to pay attention to. Now I’ve been running ClamXav for a while now, but I’ve decided to give a new entrant to the market a try. Sophos has come out with a free anti virus application (as long as you’re a home user). My take? I have installed this application and I see no slow down in my system and it doesn’t get in the way. Exactly what I’m looking for in an anti virus app. Plus it comes from one of the better known anti virus companies around which gives it some serious street cred. I’ll continue to run it and I’ll let you know what I think, but so far it looks like a winner to me.
