Do any of you mac guys/gals run antivirus on your OS X? If so, what?
For those that do, have you ever had it actually "catch" a virus in the last few years?

Is any of this getting through to you?" -FRY

Ditto

I do run ClamAV on my mail server, and therefore don't generally get email-borne viruses (anywhere in the house), but I don't actually run an antivirus on the Mac. AVG is running on the Windows VMs running in Parallels.

Sweet thats what I was hoping for, one less thing to bog down my CPU.
I am running parallels with XP and also have AVG on there, but only use XP when I need to log into work.
