QUOTE(iluvena @ Jun 9 2007, 02:38 AM) u need it coz nowadays some applications are from microsoft.. ie ms office.. maybe it can spread from docs to docs.. regardless of the OS. but i dunno.. creating virus for windows are more fun i think coz of huge customer based. well even it is docs format. your mac system won't have many "effects" or side-effects. it's totally harmless, unless the virus is "cross-platform". I doubt it  Usually virus/worms are .exe, so it's useless in mac system.  |

I have my firewall on both hardware and OS.... as for AV, nah.... unless you're sharing files with a PC, you might be a virus carrier though.... yea... but no harm if in mac osx or linux. If spotted unknown files or what, just delete it la. as simple as that.   |
