    By not using snake oil of any kind.

    Proper configuration and just working as user without root/admin rights.

    Do not offer services to the outside world.

    Why aren't you tempted by the marketing blurb here? www.clamXav.com

    Proper configuration and just working as user without root/admin rights.

    How can an Apple user check that their computer is set up in such a manner?

    Do not offer services to the outside world.

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by that! Do explain.

    Do not use your Mac as print server nor share any data or media outside
    your home network.
