I just downloaded the demo for Sophos Anti-Virus.
nice and slim, not some huge app like norton, never used virex. but in all reality there are no known viruses that effect MAC OS X. but that could change any day,
also if you share files with Winblows PeeCee's. you could be sharing a infected file.
Even though your mac will not be infected you could just continue to pass infected files around to other windows machines.it is also said that since Mac OS X is UNIX (FreeBSD) there are some UNIX viruses that Could infect your mac. as well as MACRO Viruses in MS Word Documents.
I do some Network Administration So it is great to have my Mac which cant be infected with windows viruses, and bring the infected windows file over and clean them, before they infect other PeeCee's on the network.
