I have been running my iMac for over 5 years with no anti-virus or anti-spyware software installed. I have had not one infection. You can install a free anti-virus software if you wish but as there has never been even one virus infection of OSx in the real world, you have little to worry about. You can get spyware if you are not wise but you have little chance of a virus.

There are exceptions however like the free version of Antivir which does not handle adware, but the full version does. Another surer method is to look at the definition updates and see if it handles common adware and spyware like look2me. It probably makes sense t
