i get security updates from apple pretty regularly. I have never run a virus software program on my macs, but if there becomes a need due to apple's success in marketing and gaining a larger fan base, then so be it. It isn't apple's security that is the reason I own mine, though its a great perk. Its the stability, ease of use, plug and play externals and the fact that I have had my computer freeze up MAYBE 3 times in the 4 years since I've owned this one, my last one probably about the same. The other reason is that my laptop is now 4 years old, and I use it EVERY day for very intense design programs, including the brand new Adobe CS3 suite which is designed for Intel Macs. I don't have any problems at all. Try doing that on a PC laptop thats 4 years old.
