ObsidianPhoenix Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'm a recent Mac / Hackintosh convert, and I haven't bothered to load any anti-virus software on my notebook. Yet one more reason to love OS X...

Lowy Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 i too am a recent convert and still adjusting to not needing to run scans! do we need to defragment a macbook or do any other sort of maintenance to keep it clean and running at peak performance?

The Xeon Quad Man Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Dude, I don't use Anti-Virus in Leopard or Vista. If your careful you shouldn't need any.

The Baron Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 i too am a recent convert and still adjusting to not needing to run scans! do we need to defragment a macbook or do any other sort of maintenance to keep it clean and running at peak performance? The HFS filesystem doesn't need to be defragged, see http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/apme/fragmentation/ Defragmentation on HFS+ volumes should not be necessary at all, or worthwhile, in most cases, because the system seems to do a very good job of avoiding/countering fragmentation. For system maintenance, try Onyx http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/113205-mac-os-x-86-leopard-anti-virus-and-firewall/#findComment-818017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
