Virii do exist for mac but with them being a hell of a lot less common I've never bothered with virus software for my mac.

:D

never had antivirus software, 5 years running no viruses. I did however have some PC viruses in my system when i scanned my system with Bitdefender. I can recommend that!

yeah... lack of malicious coders because of the relatively small market share of mac... which makes me think there's not enough of a market for an anti-virus developer to update aggressively enough to actually be effective.

bought a macbook pro a couple of weeks ago too... and I'm using AVAST (which is free)

Edit...sorry it might not be free for a mac. I'd bought the mac & pc version so I could use it on both dual boot partitions.
