[G4] Virus and Spy Ware detectors

My opinion only.....   If you're just a regular end user like most of  
us, there is no need for any of this stuff.  At least so far.  What  
the future holds is yet to be determined.  If you use .Mac, you can  
download Virex for free (not exactly free as you pay for .Mac), but  
you might also want to just turn on the firewall.  10.4 has a neat  
little addition to the firewall.....it's called 'stealth mode'.  How  
good it is, I can't say.
But I can say this, I've been a Mac user for 5 years now and use the  
net quite a bit and do quite a few online transactions.  Never had a  
problem.
