Not to hate on Macs too much, but it's been very widely publicized lately that Snow Leopard is in fact easier to hack than Most up-to-date versions of Windows.

I don't run AVG anymore for what it's worth WyoBob, it's just no longer up to par for catching enough of the stuff out there (it was rated Advanced by AV-Comparatives, which is middle of the road). I personally recommend Avast! Home Edition as a solid free AV system.

Thanks.

I was actually thinking of upgrading to Snow Leopard but will look into this first. I enjoy the freedom I have now and would hate to compromise that with an upgrade I can do without.

There should be a National Beat A Virus Writer day. I'd vote for that!

I hate the aftermath of viruses and spyware. In my job I get to clean up customers' PCs when they click on that really nifty looking link and get the latest spyware.

For malware, is this what I want? http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

Any problems running AVG, PC Tools Spyware Doctor and Malwarebytes all on the same computer?
