How do you mean? It's not necessary?

There was/is Virex for Mac, and Norton. They're kind of pointless. You've got a better chance of it growing a second mouse button than getting infected.

However, stupidity is stupidity, so if you're prone to trying to boot off of floppy disks for System6 that may be infected, when your system needs a USB floppy drive to even read it, you might need an antivirus..

Complacency is the mother of all fuckups.
Don't be a tool and install an AV. It's just a matter of time. Nothing is impossible. It's just a Q of whether people can be arsed to write a virus for the Mac.

I use Norton AV
