MAC OS & Anti virus

I have a customer who has the latest MAC running the lates MAC OS (within 2 months). He told me there is not an antivirus softwatre program for the computer as of yet - is this correct? I find it difficult to think that the MAC is completely free of virus attacks.

If there are programs available for the latest mac can you tell me their names please.

Virus on PC > 1,000,000
Virus on Mac < 200 and mostly pre OS 10

Virus/Malware on PC = Nuclear War
Virus/Malware on Mac = kid throwing a rock at your house.

Trojans can be an issue on the Mac as well as Rougeware. Mac users can be tricked into installing bad things on their Mac, but whether or not the Mac antivirus sw catches this is debatable. Actual self replicating Mac viruses are extremely rare in the wild.
