Yes, you can get a virus on a Mac. Anyone that says differently is a moron, or just blinded by Mac propaganda. Mac has less viruses because hardly anyone uses it. 90% of computers run Windows, so people make viruses that affect Windows because it hurts more systems. Less Macs means less viruses made to effect them, but they are not virus free.

Hi, u can get viruses on a Mac and OS X viruses r a lot more dangerous then Windows viruses cause when OS X gets infected, its all over. Time to clean out ur hard drive and reinstall OS X. People who say Macs r secure and never crash r crazy *****. Anyway u need to get virus protection for OS X. Another thing u need to know is when people use OS X they think nothing can harm them and thinking that is even worse cause when something goes wrong they r f*****. Mostly there aren't as many viruses as Windows cause hackers really don't give a **** about OS X. If u want something really secure then use Linux. I hope I helped, my parents had a Mac and I know that when OS X crashes, it crashes hard.
Good Luck!
