So I just got a Macbook that I'll be taking to college with me next year. My dad keeps asking me to get whatever virus protection I need for it, but I didn't think that macs needed any. Does anyone know of any virus protection/spyware blocker/firewall that I need to get for my mac?

I have had a powerbook g4 for about a year now and have never used an type of anti virus system for it. Macs are made to not get them. I would just suggest making sure you don't change your settings to something that allows people to download files from your computer and vice verse with an open network. Other than that it should be all good.
