    hey dude! don't you understand? <a href="http://forums.appleinsider.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=10&t=003090"; target="_blank">you already asked that</a>. there's not going to pop a virus up, just because you want protection.

    You should only be concerned with virus protection on the files if you share them with freinds who have windows systems.



    If they get one of your files, the virus may affect their system, depending on how it is transported.



    For instance. Giving them a file on a disk may not cause it to go off.



    Emailing the file to them may allow it to activate.



    I hope that is a bit more... constructive for an answer.

    T be honest, TonTon,



    Friends don't let friends use windows...



    Instead one should beat them soundly about the head and shoulders. It will make them get the same headache, and it's therapeutic for you as well.
