Being new to Mac OS X I read the sticky thread on viruses and firewalls. The advice there seems a little outdated and in my opinion should be updated to reflect that OS X is not invincible. A white paper I found shows the number of vulneribilties in OS X is going up. I am not trying to start a flamewar or anything of the sort. I am worried that the complacency of Mac users will prove to be devistating. Security through obscurity is not the way to keep you computer safe from harm. Granted everyone has heard about the Leap 'virus' that has made some news. Some may not classify this as a virus but it is one step closer to Mac OS X getting exploited in more sinister ways.
I will iterate that I am not a Troll, nor am I trying to start a flame war. I am just stating what I have seen as a computer person in general and a new Mac Convert.
I also think that it is sad that there are only a very small number of AV/AS software available for the Mac
