Lets say I download a trial software intended for my wife's Mac, but I do it from my PC (this happens more often than you would think ). If I scan the downloaded file(s) with my PC's security software, would it detect a virus/trojan/etc that would reside in that download?
I'm asking because, well, in the spirit of saving money like most people, since I have security software on my PC, why would I buy one for the Mac if my PC's can do it? IF it can, of course...
