Personally I have free access to Sophos Anti-virus through licence at work, though I have to admit that currently I don’t have Sophos or any other product installed.

Let me know what you think ? Are Mac users in danger of becoming complacent, or is there really no real threat to our security ?

Most of these sites provide RSS feeds so if you are looking at keeping up to date with the latest posts a news reader such as NetNewsWire might be the best choice.

But what about when you are not at your own computer and you want a quick fix ? Mac.alltop.com might be just the ticket in this case. Alltop.com provide a range of pages covering all sorts of topics, each page consisting of a selection of the latest posts from the best blogs covering that topic. Mac.alltop.com as the name suggests provides links to news/updates from blogs covering Apple hardware and software.

The pages are presented in a very concise layout making finding the article you are interested in very easy, and you can even hide/exclude blogs that you are not particularly interested in to customise the view further.
