[Hidden-tech] best malware/virus software for macs? what have you used?

[Kiernan Gulick-Sherrill]

I would add that Avira also makes a good free antivirus for mac.

I have not bench marked the 3 top free Mac AVs (avg, Avira, avast)  But I
have used them on Mac and Windows and they are all good programs.
