Hi, I'm new to this, so please bear with me.
My bank tells me that for online banking I need a AntiVirus program. I am using Leopard, can anyone advise me at to what I should be looking at.
Thanks,
Ernie

Re: Security
Information telling you that the reason that you bank recommends it is because they have antifraud measures in place so when identity theft happens it makes them lose money, so they want you to use antivirus so you do not have any spyware on your Windows PC, while not being necessary for Macs due to the apparently unusual lack of Viruses of any kind for it.
Thanks for clicking.

FD, with 4,000 posts, why are you replying to a topic in the wrong forum, except to postcount++? Simply report it.
Tho you don't have to, I did some time ago. Pointless posts, tho, do you no credit. I've pointed out in past that [MA] General is not for such things, so you have no excuse.

I did not notice that this thread is in the [MA] section. I apologize for any misplaced annoyances this may have caused.

Simply tell the bank that you have a Mac and that's that.
