In short, yes. But there aren't many, and chances of getting one are quite slim. Macs are very safe and user friendlty, but, personally, i would prefer a windows XP based PC, because of the games and applications available. But, this goes for all computers, as long as your careful and look after your machine, no harm will come to it.

Is a keylogger a virus?

Not necessarily. Let's take Aobo Mac keylogger as an example, which is not virus. Aobo mac keylogger is neither spyware nor virus. Virus or other spyware is normally installed as a Trojan horse, then used to steal the users' personal information like online accounts, bank account information, etc. A distinct feature of virus is that it is installed automatically and stealthily into your computer by malicious links or bundling to another piece of software and then infects your computer without your notice. Usually, they are vicious programs used by those bad guys to do bad things. However, if someone wants to install a mac keylogger in your computer, it is necessary for him or her to have physical contact with your computer. Otherwise, the keylogger can not be installed. Generally speaking, anyone else can not install a keylogger in your mac without your permission unless they have other access to your computer. If you use a keylogger on your mac, all the activities on your computer will be under your control, including when and how your computer is used.
