Solve : Antivirus for Mac??

Answer»

I am looking for a FREE antivirus scanner for my stupid Macintosh.
YES THEY DO GET VIRUSES! And I don't want one.

Looking for something free... and simple... with on demand and on access scanner.

I have an iMac, 266MHz, 5GB HD, OS 9.Wow, this is hard! the only things I found was stuff for os 10, or os X, and it was(mostly) not free, and was (Barf) McAfee, and (run screaming, they have come to screw up macs too) Norton . I even went to the apple website and looked around and found a bunch of nothing. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2169862 I'm going to go to bed now, but I'll keep looking tomarrow, which is now, so in several hours.

ViperOH WOW! If I can find my old backup disks I have a freewaree antivirus YAY! ITS SOOOO COOL! It will ike take care of any pre 1994 virus and a few newer ones (I'm just jokeing but if you want i I can go and find it for you) Quote

Sure, all I need is the NAME, and I will find it myself.
(Name and company of the AV scanner)WELL its called... uhh... oh yeah its called Disinfectent 1.7.3 it was programed at the University of Oregon i think. But uhh. I hope that there is a newer version becasue 1.7.3 was made for System 6.0.8Its V3.6 now. I found it.
It here:
http://micro.uoregon.edu/virusftp.html

if anyone can download it, please send it to me in a ZIP file. I cant download it.First of all. The version I had had nothing to do with Symtec. It was writen AT the univertist but not by the students. The version I have is kinda jittery but gets the job donw. Quote

OK,
The link I found was not for Norton. The Norton post was something I found, it was information about something that the UO offers.

This link is for the AV Disinfectant designed by UO students.
The problem I am having is that I cant get it to download, and I would like someone to download it, and zip it so I could get it onto my flash drive and onto my MAC.I get a file does not exsist message upong trying. Quote

But that requires a subscription, right?
