Norton AntiVirus for Mac is pretty good.

Instead of people posting "X is good" why not substantiate WHY it is good? Has anyone had an infection averted in real-time when visiting a flashback infected site?

To be fair, if you set Gatekeeper to only allow signed apps (I couldn't do it personally), you will be just as safe

Wrong, the Malware on the iOS store should clue people in that this won't work.

how do you actually know you have a good AV on mac when there is maybe one virus that can get on your computer without explicitly allowing it to get on?(the latest flashback virus)

I use Sophos. I've tried Avast!, Norton and McAfee.

@einsteinbqat - thanks for the heads up about the new version. Downloading it now.

Did Sophos pick up that java malware - flashback?

Well you have to catch it first. Since I didn't, there was nothing to detect.

I actually went on my merry way and searched until I found a file that was infected (hooray for Isohunt) and tested it - it indeed does detect it.

Although I said I had Sophos installed. I recently uninstalled it and my MBP is running much quicker and eveything seems smoother. Might just leave it off for now.

Do I really need an AV? I don't send many emails.

[offroadaaron]

I'm using Sophos, no issues here with it as it's been pretty solid. I've had many emails being picked up with issues so it seems to be working well.

I just took the plunge upgraded to Common Sense Security 2012. Works like a charm!
