because he's a troll who has a stick up his ass about mac malware and
doesn't understand the links he posts, even posting links that cause
harm to users and going so far as claiming that anti-malware utilities
actually install malware rather than remove it.

nothing is 100% secure, but unless people install unknown apps from
untrusted sources, there is essentially no risk for malware on the mac.

That may be true. What you say about installing unknown apps, is true on
PC's as well. The greedy guys who look for free, or low cost
installation keys are only asking for a problem.

If you goes here https://www.clamxav.com and install the software, how
can you be sure that you are going to be PROTECTING your Apple computer,
not INSTALLING malware?

Always wondering.

If folk *LOG IN* here ....

They can read in the 'Comments' section ...


FYI, ClamXAV is *NOT* free!

Tell me, how can one be sure that if one downloads the "free trial" and
installs the software, one isn't, in fact, loading malware ON to one's
Apple computer?

Who checks to make sure that this doesn't happen?

The user of the computer might well remain totally unaware that anything
may be amiss. Something to think about!

You certainly do not live up to your subject line.

Do you even think before before you crosspost and then repeat your obsessive
malware rant which is totally off topic in r.p.d.?

Though I have given you the benefit of doubt when some of your posts to
r.p.d. appeared benign, now it seems that the only solution is to add you to
my kill-file.
