So Sophoros is releasing OS X anti-viral protection:

 Sophoros

How many have you guys 'n gals ever had a Mac virus. I had one once in the mid 90's. That's it,  never experianced anything else.

That's not to say that there won't be breaches in  the future or I've just been lucky. It's obvious that OS X is far more capable of protecting itself (by design) agains such naughtyness, as opposed to other OS's we could mention. If that is going to change is another question.

Sophoros OS X beta

well, it could be to keep you from spreading virii. even if the virii doesn't do anything to your system, since most are written for windows anyways, you can still spread them, and cause damage to other peoples computers.

the only time my comp has been fucked is either when I do something stupid to the startup disk, or one time when the hard drive just went completely fucked I think it was caused by limewire though

'Virus' is a Latin word, you ignorant dolt. In English, the Latin plural is preferred for Latin words. 'Virii' is the Latin plural for 'Virus', as 'Fora' is the plural for 'Forum', and 'Media' is the plural for 'Medium'. Learn some languages; it's very useful.
