Macs can spread viruses to Windows PCs on the same network. I don't give a **** so I'm not running antivirus on my Mac, but some people want to feel like they're doing the right thing by running a program that detects Windows viruses in OS X (and willingly paying for it).

A couple of years ago probably not, now yes. Apple itself on its website recommends you have Anti-virus software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
