Sophos: 'Install an Antivirus on Your Mac. The Dream Is Over'

An antivirus program may prove to be a good idea in the longrun, however if users use common sense when dealing with the internet and internet downloaded software they will be OK.
Mac OS is still the safest commercial OS available.

Indeed, just use common sense.

In my opinion you have to be really stupid to get infected by malware like MacDefender. What are these people thinking when suddenly an installation program appears on screen and they just click "Next"?

For those people who can't use common sense and just click "Ok" or "Next" in every windows which appears on screen, an anti-virus application is indeed absolutely necessary, but I still hope most people aren't that stupid. I still hope most people can use common sense and those people really don't need an anti-virus application.

Even when I still used Windows, I never used anti-virus software. Just use common sense, don't download illegal software, music and movies (which is something you shouldn't do anyway), stay away from strange websites offering strange kinds of porn, cracks, serials and such rubbish, don't just click on every link, but look at the status bar before clicking to see to which URL the link wants to bring you.

Just use common sense and the chance of getting infected by a virus is very small. Besides that, running anti-virus software doesn't mean you're safe. A person who runs anti-virus software and goes searching for child porn, cracks and serials has way more chance of being infected by virusses as someone who doesn't run any anti-virus software at all and uses common sense.

In all those years of running Windows, I've never catched a virus on my PC. For those who now think: "How do you know for sure if you haven't used anti-virus software?" When I felt the need to reinstall Windows, I did an online scan or downloaded a free anti-virus application like AVG just before I started the process of reinstallling to check if I was indeed completely free of virusses. Those online scanners and applications never found virusses, even after running unprotected for a few years.

Ans he isn't biased at all.

This isn't reporting - this is propaganda.

For example you fail to explain why you think that Apple's update is inadequate.

A well-updated scanner that runs every time a quarantined file is opened provides comprehensive protection without weighing your system down by constantly scanning.

look at all the apple fanboys struggling so hard to keep lying to themselves =)
