The best and cheapest solution is to not download things that are obvious malware, but that's not 100% so yeah you can spend 10 minutes, one time, to install antivirus software. That's a lot less time than it would take to pick out a new mac.
But if you're really concerned, you can download Ubuntu, and that's free!
Fair enough. Not everyone is for a MAC.

I'm just saying from personal experience. I have owned BOTH a PC and a MAC, and I will never go back to a PC.
