[OSX-Users] Re: Do I need antivirus for OS X?

[Jules]

So long as you have the box
     Open "safe" files after downloading
*UN*ticked in your Safari Preferences, and you don't open anything 
downloaded by your web browser that you didn't ask for, I personally 
don't see much point.

Act sensibly, get software from reliable sources, and you will probably 
be okay.

I've never run any AV software on a Mac, and I've never had any trouble.

My (personal) 2p worth.
