None. I have used Norton for a long time, became more of a problem in  
the early days of OS X and removed all trace of it, then Virex  
(with .Mac), but then they dropped it, and so I have none......

Since 1989, I once had a Word Macrovirus that prevented me saving my  
files, which came from a colleague's Word document (PC version).   
Never had any other virus issue.

I personally think it would be a good move by Apple to build anti- 
virus code either in to the OS (assuming that this would be the best  
level at which ti implement it) or as an OS X application, in  
anticipation of wider OS acceptance on the Intel investment base, and  
the time will come for sure when someone will start virus/worm  
activity that could become an issue.
