I used to have Avast for my Mac (being an ex-PCer), but it slowed it down noticeably so I removed it. I still can't decide if it is only the Anti Virus companies that spread FUD about this.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostStill go on the belief I don't need an Anti Virus for my Mac, guess I am gonna get stung one day!"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
