Do I need anti-virus software for my mac?
I'm thinking about taking on a contracting job as a Social media search consultant. Basically all day I will be plugging in keywords, performing searches and writing reports on what different input delivers, how relevant the sites/info is, ect. One of the requirements of the company is to have anti-virus software, because i will be searching hundreds of common and uncommonly searched keywords. I've consistently heard that you don't need anti-virus for macs but if this is a requirement for this job what should i get? I read about ClamXAv, which is nice because it's free, but will this protect my computer from viruses i might come across during my searches?

Not sure if this info is relevant or not but i have a 2010 macbook pro, Mac OS X 10.8 - Mountain Lion

Any suggestions?
