I've been responsible for a large number of Macs for several years now.
I've used SAM and Disinfectant, and I've had good luck with both. The last
time I had a virus on a Mac was about 4 years ago. We got a virus on two of
the Macs we allowed multiple users to use. The virus software (SAM) found
the virus during a start-up scan. We disinfected the system and rebuilt the
desktop. All better!
|Any problems with Disinfectant? How often do you update?
Use it all the time. Update as soon as I find a newer version available.
Also, rebuilding the desktop on a Mac at regular intervals (at least once
per week) helps to keep your machine well.
|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?
Got that right. They are, indeed, platform-specific.
