Most people do not require additional virus protection for their Macs. Mac OS X is not invulnerable to viruses but it is much more secure than Windows. I have used Macs for a number of years without any issue, without additional virus protection.

Can Only Windows PCs can have viruses?

Nope. Any operating system(mac, Linux, etc.) can get a virus but just like any other program, the virus has to be made to target that operating system. A windows virus won't run on a mac and a mac virus won't run in windows. Since windows is the most popular OS for desktop use, the majority of viruses target it, and thus windows users are at greater risk of getting a virus, but a mac user or a Linux user can get a virus as well if they're not careful.


Where may I obtain virus protection for mac from?

Norton carries very good anti virus programs that can be used for PC as well as the i-mac. Spyware and Mccaffee also carry protection for both i-mac and PC. Visiting these sites you can weigh your options in the type of protection that you are looking for based on the type of browsing that you do. Lately there have been great services for a small amount of protection that is free of cost or a lot of protection for a small cost.
