Newb to Mac that needs help.

Antivirus for Macs? & for Macs running bootcamp?

Hey Forum!
I have a question.
Im wondering if Mac's need to have an antivirus. I know of ClamXav, but is it any good? & what others do you recommend?

...also. Im thinking of using either boot camp or VMWare Fusion to run Windows 7 with my new MacBook Pro. If I do this, will I need to have antivirus for both Mac & for windows?

So like, will I need to have ClamXav for the mac (when thats running) & still have AVG or AVAST etc... (for when im running WIndows 7?)

Im a bit confused. They are two different Operating Systems, but will one Antivirus cover the two..? Not too sure.


Thanks for your time guys!
Ryan.

No need for antivirus on Mac OS X. You should try out the Search feature here, there is already a lengthy discussion about this here:

You will, however, need antivirus software for your Windows partition. Any Windows malware will only affect your Windows OS.

Answer: no

Advice: next time make your title describe your post. You know, like a book title gives you an idea of what the book is about...
