I know what you are thinking: we are almost immune to viruses with a Mac….but since the application is free….running it from time to time it is not going to hurt you, right?

Sophos anti-virus is easy to install, quiet to run and simple to use—it keeps you safe from viruses, Trojans and worms without getting in your way. You get business-grade protection for your Mac backed by our SophosLabs experts— hours a day. It will stop, quarantine and cleanup Mac or Windows threats that try to infect your computer. It can even stop new, unknown threats.

Best of all the application won’t annoy you with messages or take up your computer’s resources. And once you install it, you’re the boss. Want it to just scan quietly in the background as you work? No problem. Need to create a custom scan to check what you want and leave out what you don’t? It can do that, too.

Bottom line: Sophos Anti-Virus Home Edition is a powerful and versatile application that  has the look and feel of a paid application. You can download it directly form the developer site
