ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Mac OS X
No personal computer exists in a vacuum. As elegantly designed as Macsare, a connected world means that their popularity attracts theattention of malware writers and virus engineers. Not only can malwareand other threats attack the Mac OS X platform directly, but Macs canalso serve as a carrier of Windows or Linux-based threats. Networkshares, email and removable media like USB keys are easy ways easy waysfor multiplatform malware to spread under the radar.

The Mac'smeteoric rise in popularity makes the Mac OS X platform more likely tobe a target for cybercriminals looking to profit from the perceptionthat Macs are invulnerable to from viruses, worms, trojans and otherthreats. ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Mac OS X brings to the Mac worldprotection that Windows users have trusted in and depended on: thesmart proactive detection and small footprint of our ThreatSense®technology. ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 will keep you and your network safefrom emerging Mac OS X and cross-platform threats without systemslowdowns. Advanced heuristic technology recognizes and nullifies novelthreats while other AV solutions are still waiting hours or days forsignature updates.


ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Linux Desktop
Desktop Linux distributions have surged in popularity on netbooks andlow-cost office terminals. Linux has won for its fast startup time, lowsystems requirements and cost efficiency relative to popular platformslike Windows and Mac OS X.

Whether you use your Linuxdesktop to surf the Web or work on shared office documents, it isvulnerable to direct attacks by malware or may be targeted as a carrierfor cross-platform viruses and other threats designed to target Windowsand Macs. Network shares, email and removable media like USB keys areeasy ways for multiplatform malware to spread under the radar.

Well, soon enough all Macs will be infected as much as Windows' is - and then Mac will start losing business after that, because being 'Anti-Viral' is basically their only advantage over Windows.

Somehow, i think any OS need AV for protection(or for mentality) especially when they're getting popular. Take a look at Ubuntu, couple days ago OMG!Ubuntu! reported that there's a malware inside screensaver from gnome-look.org(here and here). Virus/spyware/malware or anything that related are everywhere and it is matter of luck if you infected by it..

the only reason you don't hear about Mac OS-X getting alot of virus is because there are really not that many out there for it but as an OS becomes more main stream and more people use it than you will see if it is really secure because it will be hit by virus and malware one after another

you just wait and see
PS that goes for all OS out there

They deserve it. For the amount of crap Linux users like to talk, this should hopefully clam them up.
