Default Apple now encouraging anti-virus software for Mac OS X

Article
AppleInsider | Apple now "encourages" antivirus use for Mac OS X

Looks like years of making fun of Microsoft may be coming to an end. Recently, Apple started encouraging users to equip their Macs with an anti-virus software, recommending Intego's VirusBarrier X5, McAfee's VirusScan for Mac, and Symantec's Norton Anti-Virus 11.

They also now say that Macs "resist most viruses" rather than "are immune to viruses."

Wow, i guess Apple are doing the sensible thing though, especially as a lot of businesses choose to run the Mac os instead of Windows, it would be not good if a business's computer system crashed due to lack of virus and malware protection.

I guess I never really thought about a Mac not needing an anti-virus...
