Once in a while. It would be nice if we had official Apple in

I use these newgroups, Apple's official forums, and Reddit's.

My understanding is that the 'moderation' of the ASC *is* carried
out by
Apple employees and that they will sometimes also contribute to a
thread
(showing an apple logo alongside their name to identify themselves).

I'm not really familiar with Reddit. Do you enjoy it there?

Yes. I read http://reddit.com/r/apple, http://reddit.com/r/ios,
http://reddit.com/r/mac,
http://reddit.com/r/macos, etc. for Apple ones.

Thank you. :-) I will explore later.

I have /tried/ to help others, but it's not always easy!

Yup. Technical support isn't easy.

That's one reason why I am so gratefully appreciative of it here. Truly
obscure things I can't find a scent of in discussion.apple.com can be
dispatched here in a matter of from a few hours to a couple of days.

You are absolutely right! :-)

I'm going to quote now!

"There are no Anti-virus software packages out there that will not screw
up your Mac, generate false alarms about things that do not exist, and
generally cause havoc with your machine.

DO NOT INSTALL AV SOFTWARE ON YOUR MAC - IT'S NOT A PC."

What are the thoughts of folk reading here on these groups?

Does *anyone* use the product detailed here? https://www.clamxav.com
