[Ham-Mac] Norton's Systemworks 3.0 and Tiger

[Thomas Haddon]

So what anti-virus app should we use?  Virex is not supporting Tiger  
either - last I heard.  Or should we just depend on Apple's  
mysterious "security upgrades" that come out periodically.   Now, I  
haven't had any problems (yet) - and I still run Virex on my home  
computer running 10.3.9.

I find the whole subject of anti-virus protection for the Mac  
unsettling because I know the damage they can do from hard experience  
a few years ago.  I still consider the Unix kernel structure an  
unknown wrt virus attacks, although so far, so good.   And next they  
go to an Intel chip?  What about virus attacks on that system??   Who  
knows....

Damn time wasters...
