Don't count your chickens! Symantec lists 61 Macintosh viruses,
including nVIR, http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/nvir.html. They
are less common than Windows one simply because Macs are less common.
There are also some cross-platform viruses which can affect any system.
You need proper, updated virus protection on ANY platform.
