I have 2 Macs and I don’t use any kind of antivirus. I just think that it’s not necessary, because there are almost none Mac viruses.

I use Computer Associate’s eTrust antivirus. But that’s because this is a work laptop.
At home I have windows, and I use Avast there. But that’s because their home edition is free. I think they charge for their Mac version.

Nope, Used two Macs professionally for two years, never bothered.

OK, I am lazy, but I’ve never had a problem.

Yes, I got my macbook 7 months ago, and have been searching a bit for the same program. So far I haven’t found one, but also haven’t the need of one, yet. I’m not sure you can just download any old program off the ‘net, and mac sure doesn’t come with one, as far as I know of.

Good luck. Also, don’t bother checking the Apple Downloads page, as nothing (useful) will pop up; I’ve already tried.
