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?

You don't need virus protection, but getting it wouldn't be absolutely pointless. That's mostly because Macs have virus protection built in.
If anything, check the apple site for further info. |
