Not having anything isn't necessarily a good thing.
Don't get me wrong, it's not like I don't check, I just do not have something running all the time. This was my problem with Norton and McAfee, they took up so many cycles working in the background that your cpu couldn't keep up, having more than three applications running bogged the computer down horribly.

I check usually once a week. The Mac App Store has a free Norton App that does a nice job. In two years not a single threat has shown up. There are not many choices for Anti- software to run a Mac.

When I was working for the .gov our computer systems had username and passwords that could only be entered using your mouse and clicking buttons on the screen. The location of the keys on the screen would change with every login. It was a pain in the ass to log in, but it was secure.
