http://live.pirillo.com - Should security software be run on a Mac? In short - yes. Never assume you are 100% safe. Mac enjoys security through obscurity. Your chances are less for infection than with Windows, but there is still a risk there. At a minimum, you should run a firewall to ensure you won't be exploited. An anti virus program is a good idea, as well. Remember, surf smart and educate yourself about security issues.

  • Windows 1.x/2.x/3.x are just shells on top of DOS.. So when you run Windows 3.11 for an example, you are in fact only running MS-DOS and then you have a GUI on top of it. It really isn't much else.

  • Oh yeah, you DEFINITELY need security software for your Macs. Mac OS X Snow Leopard (fully patched) is FAR LESS secure than Windows.

  • had something not posible happen... AHAHAHAHA... my mom acidentily delted windows off her work pc

  • I'd likely recommend giving ESET Cybersecurity for Mac a whirl.... ESET.com

    Obscurity through security is not security. It might provide some SAFETY, but that's not the same as security. ;-)

    Remember that the average, non savyy Mac user can be fooled by cybercrime attack methods that target the user as the weak point, not the OS, such as phishing attempts.

    Good video.

  • @metasuperhyper That's pretty much true on all versions of windows to an extent. The only thing I ever see them change is UI and some ram stuff (7 only).
