    If you never get data from somewhere else (Internet, a USB drive, a commercial disk), no.

    But most people do put something from somewhere else on their computers. So one would be safer with protection from an anti-virus program.

    In the past, people thought that most all viruses were written for Windows or DOS computers, not for Mac OS ones. No longer true. There are a few that can attack Apple computers.
