So Virex doesn't yet run under Tiger. NAV (which I use) had to be reinstalled, but now the "Autoprotect" doesn't load at startup (I get a dialog box).

Are we left unprotected until updates are made available? Does any AV program run under Tiger?

Ha ha ha... well, considering there haven't been any viruses in the wild on OS X, I don't think there is going to be hundreds unleashed within the next few days while they iron the issue out.

They will. Just be careful what you forward to peecee users. As far your Mac, there's been Z E R O viruses. You're fine for a few weeks, at least.

Looks like you asked two questions. I answered the first.
