A compromise might be to have scan on Write only, with a forced full system scan of all files at a certain time. For example at lunch time. 1. You don't have an all the time performance hit. 2. Files will be checked on a daily/weekly basis. Negatives are that these files may sit on the device while waiting for the next scheduled scan.

Any Apple representative wont tell you that nowadays. Even more, Apple has a small antivirus builtin in the system. But signatures based, focused on major OS X threats. No heuristics, no detection of windows malwares.

I work only on Apple products (and I use antivirus), I never seen a good product who don’t slow down the computer as shit. From a sys admin perspective, Antivirus editors don’t take the Mac seriously, their product are slow and sometime published with too much bug inside. That don’t help Mac users to have any trust in it… _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/
