[G4] Security software for G4 Tiger

[Tony Gamble]

Viruses are so incredibly rare for us on the OS X platform, and  
spyware virtually unheard-of.  However, for peace of mind, you could  
use ClamXav ( http://www.markallan.co.uk/clamXav/ ), a Mac OS X port  
of the free Unix antivirus ClamAV.  Can't recall anything for spyware  
protection, though.  The general consensus seems to be that simply  
running Mac OS X is enough, although certainly be careful of less- 
than-reputable sites that want to permission install applets ("Do you  
want to trust the signed applet distributed by "Integrated Search  
Technologies" is one example).  Fortunately, this all happens in  
plain view, unlike the secret installs that often take place while  
using Windows.
