No, not yet. They do get a very low percentage of malware/spy-ware tho. It's rare but does happen. So you should still use a (free) malware/virus program just to be safe.

Are Mac computers safe from virus's?
MYTH: Macs, Linuxes, and any other non-Windows computer are safe from malware. TRUTH: This is completely false. Non-Windows computers are susceptible to catching an infection, but the probability of this happening is very low. Since Windows is the most popular operating system in the market, hackers and malware developers are most likely to target the platform. This is not to say that Macs and Linuxes won't contract a virus infection.
How do you remove malware?
Malware can be very harmful to your personal computer so firstly you need to scan your PC frequently with a strong virus detector such as AVG or Avast to see if the threat still remains, then to be on the safe side, I would strongly recommend an anti-malware software, specifically designed to get rid of dangerous malware. The most popular is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. It's also important to back up your files regularly in case you happen to encounter a virus that got into your computer before you had any anti-malware support or was able to hijack your computer via the Internet. In the case that you didn't back up your files and you don't want to buy a new computer or sacrifice all your important files, (eg. pictures, documents...) there are programs that are specially designed to cure certain viruses, provided that you know the name and/or problem.

An antivirus program will not keep spyware off of your computer?
Answer An anti-virus program will in theory keep viruses from infecting your computer. A virus is a type of malware. Malware is any malicious code that deletes files, steals personal information or does anything that harms the user. Different types of malware include iviruses, spyware, adware, worms and Trojan horses. Spyware is a type of malware and an anti-virus program is not promoted as a program likely to detect most spyware programs. However, anti-virus programs have been known spyware, I wouldn't trust your run of the mill anti-virus program to protect my banking information. If you are worried about real spyware threat I suggest you run an Internet security program instead of an anti-virus program. Internet security programs are programs with a number of tools that detect a wide range of different types of malware. I recommend using Avast Internet Security. To help stay safe online do not visit adult sites, bank online, open suspicious emails or try and download files illegally. This means if you want a movie, television show for example just pay for it.
