[LM_NET] TECH : Apple : Anti-virus software recommendations

[Barbara Fritz <bfritzlibrary@GMAIL.COM>]

Hi all, I just bought a new MacBook.(It is a thing of beauty!)  I want to be
able to use it at school and connect to our network. Beacuse our tech guys
will most likely require that the computer have Anti-virus software, I am
looking for recommendations. From what I have been finding in blogs, etc.,
as of early December 2008 Apple is suggesting that anti-virus software is
probably a good idea for all macs. I have been wondering how long it would
be before the individuals who love to create viruses will take on the
challenge of creating havoc for macs.

What can other mac users suggest? I will post a hit.

Thanks
