I'd save your money buying any anti virus software for your Mac. Mines be happily running now for the past 5+ years without anything and no troubles, it's online pretty much all the time too peeking at all sorts the web has to offer. I used to use Nortons on my old Macs bitd but it was too much of a pain.
Just keep downloading all the new system and security upgrades as and when they become available. That's all you'll ever need

I, too, have a Mac and in the last 6-7 years have never had a problem with viruses. Part of that is because only about 5% of the computers out there are Macs and the bad guys don't attack them nearly as much because of that. Your Internet Provider should have some security in place, also. However, if you are still afraid of infection, then by all means spend the extra money for an Anti-Virus program.
