Someone told me recently that he hadn't heard of a Mac getting a virus in
years. There are about 5 new viruses created every day.

I'd like to hear from any Mac users who've had a virus on their computers
and your experiences with antivirus software.

Any problems with Disinfectant? How often do you update?

For home use I have a PC, and got the Junkie virus from the internet.
(I'm now running fprot)

I put a Junkie-infected disk into a Mac and ran Disinfectant 3.5. It
didn't find any virus. Viruses are platform specific then?
