Unlike some folk here who have complete and perfect faith that virii are a non-issue with Macs, I like to be prepared.
I've had Virex on my system for a while already, updated regularly and faithfully.
I like to think it's like always having an umbrella in the car. You never know.

Re: The first OS X virus is a... I never felt the need for ant-virus software myself. When I had an iBook I had Norton for Mac, but then my Mac had never gotten itself into any situation that would make it need Norton, so I uninstalled the Norton and had not touched the Norton since then.
