You don't really need internet security. I mean, you can still get some, but it's not neccesary. I myself don't have any, and I use lots of 'dangerous' programs like limewire and torrents all the time. No need, very very few viruses work on Mac. I don't even recall hearing about a mass Mac virus ever.

No need for extra security, your Mac is secure as it is IMHO.

You don't need security programs for Macs. Ny the way, there is a disk drive on the right on the machine.
