Never used antivirus/never needed it.

There is however nothing preventing an error code 40 (the error being about 40 cm´s from the screen)
There have been exploits targeting the mac also, but they all involve the user actively helping it along. Actual vira in the wild you won´t find, but there might be some browser exploits (again use your head and you won´t get in trouble)           Mastering available here:

i thought the same... and i didnt bother getting an antivirus until recently....

I moved in with a fren and i let him use my mac.. dunno what sorta sites he visited but ableton started crashing and i lost all my files... and i didnt have a backup....

later i got an antivirus for 30 day trial and found out 2 trojans in my mac...

a huge lesson learned..

If you got cracked software on your mac, maybe even with pc key generator this will be recognized as trojan.

You don`t need an anti virus prog on a mac yet. but make sure you activate your firewall and maybe little snitch. if your really paranoid on using the web, get an opend vpn client and buy privacy connection to always hide your ip and stuff..if your privacy is worth something for you.
