Is it advisable to install anti-virus software onto Macintosh OS X machines?
I found some articles on the internet report that not to install anti-virus s/w. It will caused significant problem, like hang, Spinning Pizza-Wheel of Death etc.

I have Norton AntiVirus and manually run it about once or twice a year. Never had a virus detected. It's probably a waste of money.
