Hi,
since we are all about security now, I wonder if you think it is necessary to install a anti virus scanner for Mac OSX and if so, which one you would recommend.
Thanks!

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Why would I want to scan my MAC? It's just a sequence of hexadecimal identifying my ethernet card.
Oh, you mean my Mac! Those don't get viruses, silly. Didn't you hear?

Yes I heard. But since we're in the Bitcoin forum and there are so many threats to our precious coins I thought asking wouldn't hurt.

http://www.intego.com/ Intego VirusBarrier for Mac. When I bought my very first Intel macbook the only thing in the Apple store was the norton software but it didn't yet have a universal binary. McAfee had a mac antivirus software but they only sold it in packages of three. I looked around and found a really good 3rd-party review for Intego. I've used them on my Macs for years.

Just wonder what the community's latest thoughts on this are? Protecting from malware is absolutely relevant to bitcoin people. I'm always paranoid about a keylogger or something. Do we need a scanner on our macs?

Ive always used virus barrier X6 and have been happy with it. It has a cool interface, as well as some options if you are running windows on the machine as well

You need Linux on your macs. |

Thanks for the responses. Good to know that others see antivirus on mac as valuable. And yes, that we must run linux too - I just keep nix on separate box and in VMs.
If anyone has any objective comparisons of antivirus apps on mac, I'd love to hear those too.

I use virus barrier X6...or internet barrier X6...I can't remember which one now...but it is one of those two. It works well, and the interface is really easy... |

I use avast pro on both of my pc laptops. It is the easiest with the auto updates, and auto scans... |
