At Work On a Mac

Sophos lets Mac users install their anti-virus software for free. While OS X’s records has been pretty good so far, especially if you don’t run an admin user for everyday computing, there are still numerous threats.

When you think of all the threats through web browsing (Javascript, rogue links, etc.) and PDF reading, it’s better to be safe. Right click scan files (ctrl+click). Get it here. Still the usual good computing habits of using OpenDNS and a less targeted browser like Safari will get you a lot of mileage. The threat could come from a trusted source like a file from a friend. Try it.
