do you guys suggest getting an anti-virus app for a mac?

I won't be going on any bad sites. Just like google, youtube, dictionary.com, some forums that I have been on forever, and ebay.

If my Mac does happen to get a virus somehow, does OSX delete it or am i just screwed?

There are no viruses for OS-X so you don't need it.

You only need a virus scanner if you are likely to share a large number of files with a computer running Windows.
