Virus Software:

Recently on the Mac list, because of the trojan scare, we have discussed this to death. As usual, Norton was widely decried. It's been that way for 10 years now at least. So stay away from Norton. You don't need to run anti-virus software on the Mac, not even to protect PC users. But you do have to be smart about Word, because you can pass on macro viruses.

However, if you work somewhere that insists you use something, use Intego. You don't yet need it, it's not expected to be necessary for quite a while still, but anyway.
