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

[Rick Prather]

I will worry about a virus in OSX when I hear of the first one!

In the meantime, since Windows probably has you gun shy, you can try  
ClamXav.  It should make you feel better and is freeware.

I know of several people that claim that they have had only one virus  
on their Mac in over 16 years and that is from a long time ago.
