[macvoiceover] Re: anti virous

Hi all,

Whilst I agree that there are very few viruses out there for the mac,
I still have some sort of virus scanner on my mac, just in case one
does become a real problem.  I use clamxav (based on clamav), which is
a very easy to use application (it comes with a finder context menu
plugin for scanning files) and has the advantage of being free.

All the best,
Adam.
