    There are mac viruses. They just don't get spread as much. When I was working last summer in an office the admin for the local college told me they had a group of iMacs taken out by a virus.

    As long as you're careful, you won't get a virus on Windows or Mac. If Avast wasn't free, I would have no AV on my PC at all.
