Avoid using customized Virex eUpdate settings
Authored by: takeaway on Oct 19, '05 12:05:47PM

My main concern is with Virex 7.2 - the eUpdate stores the password as plain text which is just a bad idea, especially since the Keychain is so easy to use. If you don't use Virex with .MAC or if you use a newer version this isn't an issue.

I use Norton Antivirus - but it sure uses a lot of cpu time so I am not sure that I like it either. I use Norton because it will detect Windows Viruses which is mainly what I use it for. Generally speaking, I turn autodetect off.

The Apple Store seems to offer Noron AntiVirus and VirusBarrier X either of which seem to be good choices.
