Do Apple Mac users think they are immune from computer viruses

I have nothing against Macs or Mac users, but why do the users feel they are immune from viruses. Mac users happen to be less likely to encounter a virus because most virus creators are unleashing their attacks against those of us in the Intel community. Macs however can still get a virus and without antivirus protection, these Mac users put those they know and communicate with at risk and at inconvenience. They do so when they send a data file or worse yet, an executable file by email that is infected by a virus, whether it was contracted on their machine or not. It’s important to be able to detect and repair infected files and not pass them on to others.

While Symantec has a tool for finding and eradicating viruses, there are obviously others. Symantec's tool is Norton AntiVirus (NAV) 10.0.1 for Macintosh (Best Current Price: $29.45). MacWorld wrote a review on this product. The review ended with, "If you aren’t running any antivirus software, you should consider picking up a copy of NAV 10. It’s a small price to pay for the peace of mind you get from knowing your Mac is well-protected."
