I worry about it more now than I did a year ago. Back then, I had faith in OS X's design and that Apple was keeping up on sending us bug fixes. This past year has shown us that Apple is way behind the curve and making no attempt to do better. It's taking them *months* to push out even simple security fixes. Not good. That worry aside... it's always a good idea to practice safe surfing (see Len/Bruce's reply). And when you have the time, check out ClamXav. Of course... When you read all the yammering in the popular press,,, use your best baloney filters. So much of it is unnecessarily alarmist, for the sole purpose of selling useless AV products... >Bruce said almost exactly one year ago: yea.
