I never said I was invincible. But from what I have known, Macs only really get Trojans.

Do you have 2 anti-viruse programs running at the same time?

No, because they would both conflict.

Not exactly true. EXE programs that contain or unpackage viruses can still harm your system. I'd get something just to be safe.

That's exactly what I was going to tell Genius. A lot of people, myself included at one point have made that mistake.

Yeah I remember I had AVG and Norton running at the same time and it fucked my computer till I had to go in Safe mode and remove one (Norton) >_<

Well, in fact you can, but you have to configure them that they will not be able to conflict with each other. It's better thought to have one.

Yeah. I find it fine just to use one unless you need one to cover features that your main one doesn't offer.

Sorry, or what ever type of file extension Mac's support for self executable programs.

Well every program that I download as .exe doesn't run, it just opens up a notepad with a bunch of random ass non-english letters.

Do Mac's have some other type of file extension for executable programs?

It is pointless using an anti virus IMHO. A lot of the stuff that is backdoored is crypted, and a lot of stuff reports false positives so it's ignored anyhow.

I like my AVG 2012, but I also use Malware Bytes. Both great and reliable programs.

AVG 2012
Considering just switching to Malware bytes and or something else, AVG is just slowing my computer down horribly.
