Macs do need some virus protection, but there aren't many viruses for them.

Some companies that sell macs include it, but others don't, just really a matter of where. I'd suggest phoning them, asking them personally, but then again, macs are rather invincable, and get very few viruses, if any at all.

It's always good to have virus protection. Luckily, most viruses infect PCs. It wouldn't hurt to have though.
