Seriously. There is no need for AV on a Mac until there are Mac viruses in the wild. Statistically, it's inevitable that someday it will happen, but even then, it's really Apple's job to close any hole that a virus uses.

I've been using Mac's for over 20 years, and OS X since the Beta in 2000. I've never seen a good reason for AV on OS X. The Classic OS (9 and prior) did have a small need, but not OS X.

By the way, it's been so long since I had to install OS X that I can't remember when I last did it, and I support at least 6 Mac users in my family.
