[ale] AV software? Slightly OT

[scott]

Best Mac anti-Malware is MacScan ( http://macscan.securemac.com ).  It
is top notch.

There are a few Mac AV software but most act like Windows software
ported over and not like a Mac software.  I have been using ClamAV-X (
MacOSX port of our love ClamAV ).

if you have any other mac specific questions, feel free to ping me offline.
