Before you jump on me, I am a long-time mac user, I know that malware problems are very new and very limited for macs; I am not chaffing at the bit to install anti-virus crap on my computer (I use ClamXAV and periodically scan for invasion).

I just heard about this product and am doing my due diligence on it, because I have clients who will ask about it.

Has anyone checked it out? Used it? What's your take on it?

Avast is a well respected PC antivirus company

If ClamXV doesn't find it, it probably doesn't exist.

The best security always has and always will be an informed and educated user who makes wise computing choices on a daily basis.

I use the PC version for my Windows 7 install under VMWare Fusion, but don't routinely use any AV software on the Mac side. Clam XAV is there if I need it, but so far, I haven't.
