I find Anti-Virus for mac a pointless scam.
If your careful, you don't even need anti-virus for PC.
It's all marketing to paranoia.
True. If you secure a user name for net surfing, with pretty powerful restrictions, keep everything up to date, and lock down scripts, you can prevent infection even on a pc for the most part. You need to restrict scripts and program installation to administrator only. But even then there are still a few things that can happen, however unlikely.
The most common mistake on a pc is that most people do everything under an admin level user profile. Most windows users have no understanding of this concept whatsoever. Locking everything down on the user name you do surfing on is the best strategy. Then of course things can't install without an admin password.
Given the same level of precaution on a mac, you are fort knox safe.
