Ask HN: Antivirus on OS X?
I just received an obvious spam message from a vendor. I called them to report and they said "yeah, just delete it, we're on macs, it's probably just our email that got cracked".
But I want to advise them for antivirus programs. Recommendations?
- secfirstmd 12y agoSophos for Mac - it's free and pretty decent.

In practice, that's never happened. If it did happen, the signature would be immediately revoked by Apple as soon as the issue was detected, and would then cease to be an issue.
