ps: yes Mac's can get a virus
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

I'm same as jimjim. I think the whole architecture of Macs (similar to linux) makes it hard to 'infect' with viruses. Might be wrong.
Lets please not make this an anti-pc/anti-mac thing.

There is one Trojan in the wild for the Mac if you're using OS X. Currently advertises itself as a codec for Quicktime.
There is no free antivirus software but McAfee, Symantec and Sophos do sell antivirus software.
I've only had one virus on a Mac and that was under OX 9. Been on a Mac full time since '92. Can't remember the name of it but it made the Mac do random restarts. The hole has since been plugged (it was a Quicktime bug).

I've a nice little Mac virus here that I wrote on one of my dev boxes for kicks... sure it was a little challenging, but definitely not impossible... knowing what I know now, I'd be getting a virus scanner if I were using a Mac on the net.
