We recently switched to MSE for Windows, and VirusBarrier from Intego
for Macs. www.intego.com
The on-access scanner in VB appears to have a milder impact on system
performance than others we've tried. Includes an application firewall,
etc. Catches some old Word macro viruses we're still plagued with hiding
in Mac files, and recognizes Windows viruses in files on my Mac.
Even if you believe Macs don't need antivirus protection, consider it a
kindness to those Windows clients with whom you may share files ;-)
