No one is 100% secure. However we weight the risk against the practicality of measures to reduce that risk taking into account cost, hassle, and performance.
I have decided that with the low, if any, amount of Mac viruses spreading though the internet and the fact that I am careful with what I download and the existence of my firewall I do not need an anti-virus.
I don't do it too offend people with my risky behaviour or out of a sense of Mac arrogance. It's just the reality that I am very unlikely to get a virus on OSX in the current climate. I will reassess when the state of virus on the Mac changes but for now, I am not installing a AV on my machine to scan for nothing.
