You say paranoid, I say prepared. How would you propose you would get rid of an infection on your mac after it is there? Most AV wont run on a compromised system so you then rely on system restores, OS reinstalls etc. If the virus becomes widespread enough you may be able to get a standalone utility that will clean up but its all a bit excessive when all you need to do is take your head out of the sand.
And I think you will find the windows virus culture is spread by windows users in the same mindset as yourself. Those who use up to-date AV certainly wont be vulnerable to infection.
