Re: [Poll] Do you use anti-malware software on your Mac?

I don't run any real time/resident scanning, but I do use and scan with Clam 2-3 times a week on my 2 macs

If Avast had a free "home" version like they have for windows(which I use on all my windows boxen), and more stable on a mac, I would run it without a doubt. Unfortunately, it's just not "quite there" yet. Maybe after more time......

I tried Avast's 60-day free trial of their Mac version, and removed it after about 3 days. It kept crashing and seemed to slow things down just a bit. I certainly wouldn't pay the $30 (or $40, or whatever it costs) for it...at least not until they get it working better.
