    I don’t think that Mac really need an Antivirus, maybe those vendors are only offering internet security suites, such as web filtering, firewall etc.. CMIIW

    Mac is secure to a greater extent. But the increase in the number of Mac users, may be one of the reasons why third party vendors are coming up with Security Software.

    Security is a primary concern, and as we know no software is perfect vendors always manage to convince buyers to spend money on new products. It’s ‘the fear’ that they might be the next victim that drives these sales, IMO.
