Security Software for OSX?

OSX firewall turned on 24/7.
Little Snitch is used 24/7 to manage inbound & outbound connections.
Hotspot Shied is used when away from home.

There are scanners that check to make sure that your attachments don't have WINDOWS viruses so that you don't act as an accidental attack vector for your windows friends.

Sophos
Required by IT for work.

The alternative to using Sophos is using the windows machine they provide... lol

ClamXav is free and handles this on-demand scanning just fine. Last I heard, Sophos for Mac is free for home use?
 
After reading this thread, and getting re-reminded about it, Sophos. I didn't install it when it first came out, because I didn't want to be the guinea pig, but then I forgot about it.

ClamXav is far too clunky.

I would think so, but I honestly don't know. Maybe try emailing the eicar test to someone as an attachment and see if it works.

Heh . . . all the OSX VMs my company sold were infected with assorted malware within 7 days of creation. The 'support' costs for us to clean them constantly ended up being more than we were making from the product line. It was discontinued about about 6 months.

On my Air, I don't run any society software beyond the built in tools, same on my Win7 and Linux boxes. Don't be a dumb ass and you'll be fine.

I've only been running Sophos for a day now, but I like it. Clean interface, and does what it needs to do. Recommended.
