Just like Windows you have to get either a free or commercial virus/malware program and install it. There aren't any virus problems YET, but there are getting to be a few malware, etc., out there for the Mac so it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a remover.
If you don't really browse unknown web sites and have a lot of people e-mailing you "funny pictures" and such then you should be fine, just use common sense.

There are a few Malware problems and such but there are a few free Anti-Virus/Malware software company's out there to download and install to make sure you don't get them, better safe then sorry. Just use your head and common sense and you should be fine. Just follow the instructions and it will set you up. Just make sure you update it at least weekly or it won't help you much.
