Yep.
I have used Macs for the last ten years and have never had a virus and have never run an antivirus prog.
I do have the built in Firewall activated though.

If you are talking Win then yes it would be a stretch as most machines come with a crippled trial version of a major AV prog which the owner is then almost forced to purchase.
Please point me to a Mac virus that has any real potential to cause harm and I'll reconsider not having 'protection'.
