I'm on the Comcast ISP and they provide free anti-virus software for both PC and Mac (via Norton). I tried out the Norton and it made everything (Firefox) run exceedingly slow.

Before Comcast I had used the ClamXav Sentry which is free and runs very fast... so I have removed the Norton and gone back to ClamXas Sentry. No problems at all.

Actually, I 've not had any virus problems on any of my Mac's since I started using them (MacPlus) in 1985 or there abouts.

FWIW, I always ran anti-virus programs on my PC's and kept them up to date... so my problems there have been minimal.
