Got my firewall running, check. Got the strongest anti-virus I could find running and constantly scanning, check. surf on a NON-administrator account, check. Use long, random-character passwords everywhere, check. Been on a Mac for years, check. And with all that, I'm still paying close attention to security issues. No, I've NEVER thought I was invulnerable because I was a Mac user. I've always known that the lack of viruses was probably largely due to the low returns on writing Mac-specific viruses, and sure enough, the nogoodniks are on Apple's case now.
Knock on wood, I've managed to miss all the malware thrown my way. So far.
But I still laugh when, from time to time, I stumble upon a web site that does things like throw up a screen warning me that "we have detected that your PC is infected with multiple viruses" and a voice comes across claiming to be from Microsoft Security Essentials demanding I call this phone number to get the malware removed from my computer. (It is usually clear that the phone number is one of those pay-to-call sites, so if you fall victim, they already gotcha.
Like Microsoft Security can scan your computer that way. As if Microsoft gave fig about a Mac. And I was dumb enough to bite.
But I'm keeping on top of it as best I can.
