Morgandy Member 177 posts Joined Jul 2006 Location: San Jose, California More info | Dec 27, 2006 06:57 | #2 I've owned at least one Mac continuously since around 1989. The only virus I ever got was a Microsoft Word or Excel macro virus, back in the mid 90's -- and that was at work where we were a Mac peripheral company. Those viruses were easily passed along in shared documents. I have never gotten a virus on an OS X machine, even off the web or in worm-laden e-mails. I don't use virus protection, but I have the built-in OS X firewall on. No worries -- yet.
