Do I need Anti-Virus for Safari??

Received my Macbook last week, no problems connecting to the internet but i'm worried about not having a Anti-Virus?

Am I safe without???

Thanks

Oh I am glad somebody mentioned this because I was wondering the same thing but I have heard from somebody else that as long as you have you firewall turnt on it should be ok...

and here's the thing exactly how do you turn the firewall on?

AS for anti virus, we have a dedicated sticky on this one.

Basically there are only about 2 trojans out there but the consensus is that it is best to run a scan every now and then, I would recommend the free ClamX

ClamXav

Thanks for the link, that will be real helpful.

Appreciate that.
