There are some worms and virui that do affect Mac's especially if you
use Internet Explorer and MS Office.

You still need a good Anti Virus package, even if its primary use is
to ensure you do not forward a payload to a windows user.

I use IBM OS/2, Apple OS9/OS10.x, Linux, and IBM AIX here at
home, and I still use an email scanner on my two main mail
servers here, even though we (my wife and I) are 100% microsoft
free.

800f virus replication would be halted if people stopped using
OutLook with its default settings, or preferably moved to a standards
based email client.

Cheers
