It used to be that Mac's were generally unaffected by viruses.  That era seems to be ending.  With many more Macs in use, that market (for viruses) is growing.

The article notes some of the recent malware / virus problems:

"A new Trojan known as "Sabpab" could hurt Mac users who run Java and Microsoft Word. Security researchers are warning users to make sure their computers have the latest software updates from both Apple and Microsoft, and to use anti-virus software. In some cases, manual removal of Sabpab may be needed.
Word about Sabpab comes on the heels of another nasty piece of malware, Flashback, that infected up to as many as 600,000 Macs, security experts said, by exploiting a vulnerability in Java."

So, Mac users - welcome to the world that us PC users have known for years - anti-virus software is needed!!!
