How often do you scan your computer for viruses?

[glory]

Maybe once a year? I never get them. Worked in IT for a year and know how not to.

You must be running your gaming box in a VM

I never do it, I never get a virus unless I download unknown or unpopular programs without it being trusted or scanned prior to running it.

macs dont get viruses.

My computers do it when they are sleeping, and most of my computers are macs so I don't have to deal with viruses!

If only that were still 100% true?

I'm just waiting for the day someone makes a virus for macs.

Someone has. There have been like 2 reported incidents of viruses for macs.

If you consider a Trojan to be a virus, that is.
But Mac OS X was updated to counter them.

If only Microsoft did that?

MacBook FTW!!

I only scan for viruses when I have a virus.

 

[shadows5631]

Never. I've had a Trojan once, but that was with Windows 98 in the year 2000. Never had one since, and have never needed one.

 

[ChaosFireV]

Not as often as i should i admit.

 

[ChaosFireV]

and for the record, macs dont have a lot of viruses because the userbase is so small, the people who make the viruses dont bother because you can get more info from PC users because there are more of them.
Source.

So its not necessarily because you mac is safter (although the Unix its based on helps), its just that its more rewarding to attack PCs.

I have multiple scanners I run at least once a week.
