    here's my secret to not getting viruses...

    DON'T RUN AS ADMIN

    very simple. whatever you run has your rights. you're not an admin, they can't do any real damage.

    also, a mac by default has all of it's services shut off. windows boxes used to be more susceptible to hack attempts because all sorts of unnecessary services were running in the background that could be compromised. they've changed that, so it's not like it used to be.

    just get a decent firewall.

    i don't use AV on my mac or windows boxes and i've never had an issue.
