It's critical
to protect your computer from viruses, worms, trojans and other nasties.
While Macs are generally not targeted by those you can still pass the virus
to other people even though your Mac doesn't get infected. If you have a
PC antivirus software is a must. It's nearly guaranteed that you will catch
a virus within few days if your PC is not protected.
