    Default Free antivirus for Mac OS X 10.3.9

    Dear friends, I write you from Spain. I would like to know if you could help me to find a free antivirus for my Mac OS X 10.3.9, Power PC G4. The problems I've found are that my Mac version is old for most of the antivirus software or that when I'm able to download a program it asks me for a password, which I don't know, for executing the "Installer" application of my computer. I know you may not be able to help me with the second problem, but I would appreciate any information of antivirus software you know for my Mac.

    Thanks,
    Cesar.

    Thanks for your help. I had already tried this program, but my computer doesn't allow me to run it. I download it and when I open the file it says (translated from Spanish): "Impossible to open iAntivirus pack from the Installer. The table of contents of this pack has not been found". I don't know if the problem has to do with my computer rather than with the software.

    I really don't think you need an anti-virus for mac. Mac is secured enough.

    I think you should hve to read this MAC OS X. This is one of an option to install any application in MAC.
    Using the Shell (Terminal).
    Good luck for it!

    Thanks for your information. I've read the article, but the truth is that I don't feel confident enough to enter changes in the Terminal. This is my boss' computer at the office and I fear to make changes on it. Besides, I think I already have a bash shield on my Mac according to the session window that opens when I fire the Terminal.
    I'm going to look again for the password my Mac demands me when I try to install the antivirus and execute the "Installer" application, and if I don't find it I'll try to change it. In case I'm not able I'll think again on entering text on the Terminal window.
    Thanks for your help. I'll tell you if I finally can install the antivirus or I'll write to you if I find new doubts. Bye!

    Dear friends, I finally got to install the antivirus. At the end it was just a problem with the administrator's password, which I finally found out. I've been able to download and install Norton Antivirus. Having solved that problem it wasn't difficult to find different programs on the web, because there were plenty as you said. Thanks for your help. Bye.
