That's probably why there's a product called Norton Anti-virus for Mac? http://www.symantec.com/nav/nav_mac/index.html Michel.

Michel.
Of course. Something needs to try and stop the flood of viruses hitting the PCs on the LAN. Symantec AV for the Mac is a great product in cross-platform environments and can prevent Windows viruses from accidentally being copied to a network volume or from being forwarded on via email. Macs are quite capable of integrating into a Windows network. Users can access their Macs via SMB. A Mac can still download a virus, but it's not going to affect it. It *can* affect the PC connecting to the share. It's just another line of defense, really.. (But someone is right.. we're all OT now..)
