I would hazard a guess at unwilling rather than unable, as basically anything prior to 10.8 is no longer supported for security updates as far as I know, it may be even more recent than that, but who else is issuing securiy patches for any os older than 3 or 4 years these days, what is the oldest FBSD that gets security updates these days? > > -Reko > > -----Original Message----- From: Valeri Galtsev > Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2016 7:09 PM > To: Tim Daneliuk > Cc: questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: Anti-virus for FreeBSD > > > On Thu, March 24, 2016 9:31 am, Tim Daneliuk wrote: >> On 03/24/2016 09:25 AM, Valeri Galtsev wrote: >>> that we scan for viruses attacking something else not on MS products? >>> Are >>> there any? ;-) >> >> Yes - for MacOS at least. > > Could you give some links to information about MacOS viruses?
