Your best bet is to buy a cheap PC, then it does not matter if your
working files are invaded by a virus. I use MacAfee which seems
brilliant, but you have to update all the programs as soon a new
program arrives.
The link that Gordon posted was very useful as it was a mail program
which alerts you when new updates are brought out.
