What antivirus do any of you have on your mac system (if you have one)?
Can we get Sophos for the mac and can we get it free??
-
What about the anti virus you get with the "connect Mac to C2K" pack

What connect mac to c2k pack?? OOps found it, that should do nicely, if only I could make the xserve the central repository...

It does not appear as if that version of LiveUpdate likes Snow Leopard. I am going to download the NAVM_Intel_Installer to see if this can correct the problem.
it is here http://www.symantec.com/business/security_response/definitions/download/detail.jsp?gid=nmc
Otherwise LiveUpdate just hangs.

I am currently trying Clamav for the mac as it is free. I have had a mac with trojans in it so the world is not free of mac virus. Strangley enough I had copied files from the mac to my usb then when I used the drive at home my antivirus (Nod32) told me there were mac trojans on the drive. I checked the drive with ClamAV on a mac and it found the offending files so I am going to install that.

Hi Stephen
How you getting on with Sophos on the Macs as a Anti-virus package? We have macs here running off the C2K proxy for internet connection and I am looking at some solutions for anti-virus for the Macs and I know some people say you shouldnt need anti-virus for a mac but in a school, with USB pens flying around, i like to be safe than sorry. Many thanks. PS: How did you manage to get it free,, you dont need to answer, I am just being nosey!!

Give up on that. Symantec that comes with the c2k stuff sometimes works - more often doesnt - so I deemed that a waste of time. I have never liked Sophos so I did not try it. Instead I went for some free software, ClamAV for Mac. How good it is remains to be seen but as long as I have something on that upgrades itself I am happy.

Sophos was free to schools but you have to purchase it from 1st March.

Thanks Guys, I was looking at the ClamAVX and have decided to deploy this solution instead, the Sophos Endpoint solution(being offered by Foursys) looks to much for a classroom of 33 iMacs. Anyway thanks.

From what I know you double click the download and when the screen comes up do the usual move the icon to apps.
Once that copies log out then in again - some problem with the icon showing up
Goto Apps and double click the icon - the prog will now install
Do updates - no choice, it's update or quit
Do preferences
Move onto next machine.

Folks did any of you ever get ClamXAV to work properly? I've set it up in our Mac suite however the school prxy seems to stop definition updates.
-
I was never happy with ClamAV. Which is partly why we went with ESET NOD32, which I am very happy with. As soon as anyone logs in it checks with the server for updates and does them. I think with ClamAV you had to run it if it didnt bother to run for your account then get it to do an update.
-
Fantastic, I'll have to check that out.
-
It does cost but was one of the main reasons we got rid of the annoying autorun virus on the memory sticks so quick, Eset just cleaned it, Symantec ignored it!

I'm testing out Avira at the minute on my workstation. The Mac version is free and updates normally, no messing around with internet settings. So far so good.
