We use Intego VirusBarrier here. Didn't find the first cases, but is fairly good at cleaning them up afterward. It can be a bit too aggressive by default, but doesn't seem to impair performance much at all. On 5/17/12 3:17 PM, Dean Williams wrote:
A rash of Flashback infections has us thinking about malware protection for our Macintoshes. Is anyone using a product that you’d recommend (or recommend against!)? If you are supporting malware protection for your Macintoshes, is the impact on system performance acceptable? Is it effective in preventing or at least detecting infections? Are updates timely? Is it affordable?
