[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 1072460, member: 50033"] To answer the OP's question--No, you do not need antivirus, and here's the reason why. All of the current antivirus software out there scans for Windows viruses only. There is no antivirus software out there that scans for OS X viruses (because there aren't any). If you install antivirus software, you will simply be scanning for viruses that your OS is immune to. That's like putting sunscreen on immediately before going to bed each night. [/QUOTE]
