With Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system arriving on people's doorsteps over the coming weekend, you'd think that all the new features are known by now, and there will be no more major surprises. Well, that's not entirely true: on Intego's Mac Security Blog, it is reported that Snow Leopard comes with anti-virus/malware functionality built-in. Update: Snow Leopard testers on MacRumors confirmed the functionality. How, exactly, it works, is not yet known, however.

A lot of badies on the Windows platform seem to disable Msft Defender the first thing they do. Possibly because it's free and the first thing people install, so it's well worth it. One could argue that this makes Defender useless, but in my book this makes Defender a superb indicator of if there is a problem with a machine.
I wonder if Apple Wormspray, or whatever they will call theirs, will be as waterproof tool to determine if a Macintosh is infected?
I've had one virus 13 years ago on a PC and none on my Macs. I am glad Apple decided to be proactive and not pretended like there aren't any problems to make their ads less ironic.
