I'll second that - the whole "expensive virus software" is one of the lamest excuses used by the Mac world to justify their world. I haven't spent money on antivirus software or spyware software since I used Norton under Dos 6.0.

I have 9 machines here at home, and all of them are protected by very good AV software, and none of it costed me a penny.
