I don't run it on Windows, much less my Macs.  If I (as Michael
suggested) regularly exchanged documents with Windows users I *might*
reconsider, but my faith in AV in being much more than a lap belt (not
even a seatbelt) has been very much reduced by dozens of infections at
work on fully-patched fully-updated machines with AV installed.

We have a site license, but to me even free, it's not worth it.
