My opinion would be, yes, it's a waste of money. I've managed 20+ Macs on an office network that has no restrictions on Internet usage for more than 15 years and the only time I ever had a problem with any viruses was some Microsoft Word macro viruses (that were found by virus-checkers but did no actual harm) back in the late 1990s. We've been running without any virus-protection software for at least the last 10 years and, to my knowledge, have not acquired any viruses or had problems that virus-protection software would have alleviated.
In fact, I've spent more time telling my employees that they didn't have to worry about whatever latest virus scare was going around then combatting any actual viruses.
