http://www.clamxav.com/ is free. What do you want antivirus software for?

Other tips for OSX include going to System Preferences > Sharing and disable any unused services, turning the firewall on and going to Safari > Preferences > General and turning off "Open safe files after downloading" which is quite possibly the dumbest default option I've ever seen.

The only thing i could think of is if he deals with a lot of windows files, in which case , it would detect and remove the viruses instead of passing them onto other windows computers. But then again most email systems scan attachments for viruses anyway...for normal users I see no reason to use anti-virus on a mac

Sounds like either a switcher or a OS 9 user

Yes im a switcher but, I have VMware with bootcamp installed as I need to use visual studio and sql server and although the mac wouldn't get infected it doesn't mean the windows side of it won't

You could just protect your window side then?

I am switcher as well and I am getting my Mac Pro tomorrow and not having antivirus installed is probably going make it feel like I am having unprotected sex.
