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?

^Truth.
Also, I hate norton/mcaffee/zone alarm. Norton and McAffee are way too annoying and try to shove their own popups down your throat, and Zone Alarm restricts too much stuff and you end up having to go into it and tell it specifically what programs to allow. |
