What I despise on here are the users that keep saying that Mac's can't get viruses and that the worse that could happen is they get a file that's a PC virus but won't negatively affect the Mac. So Thomas, is it safe to say now that Avast isn't on your sh** list anymore? When I mentioned it about a month ago, people on here kept shooting it down like it was the devil or something.

If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. All known Mac malware takes the form of trojans that can only operate if the victim is duped into running them. The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
