I have had only one virus in ten years of using the Mac OS, both legacy MacOS and Mac OSX. The virus I got was an explotation of a bug for Microsofts Word for mac program. That was with a legacy(old mac operating system), before Mac OSX was implemented. Note that it was a MIcrosoft program that caused the problem. I simply backed up data and reinstalled the OS and was up and running again in 20 minutes.
