Hello, I just bought a MacBook, and I need antivirus and protection etc.
Any advice?

You wont need one. If you REAAAALY want one use Clamxav.

It's highly unlikely you will get any outcome, but I would always use protection.

Although there are trojans out for OS X, as long as you know what you are installing, and you are sure it is from a reliable source, you will be fine without AV.

You won't need one, unless your a noob and start downloading crap. :P

Mac is built on a Unix system yadaydayada and you won't need it according to Jobs :P

I don't have it, and I haven't encountered a problem since (touch wood)!

Now now now,

The good thing about a mac is you dont need it. I have been a mac user for quite a while now and never had a virus. I know many people who use mac's and have not had one. A music tech teacher i have has used mac for 12 years and never even seen a mac virus before and he is into bitorrent and all that.

As I said earlier, there ARE programs out there that are harmful to your Mac, but currently the only way they can install is if you let them. As long as you don't, you will be fine.
