Mac Security?

I came across this article today about mac security and it got me worried. My baby is sitting at home all alone.  What if my firewall breaks?  I feel like I should remote in and check on it.  One of those 3 mac viruses out there may be ready to strike.

Some tips pointed out are enabling the firewall/stealth mode and turning on secure virtual memory.  I must say after using the Mac firewall, it's quite nice.  The windows one care firewall annoys me with its constant popups and it isn't as easy to configure.  On a side note, I still don't know how I feel about Microsoft selling firewall/antivirus software.  Doesn't it seem wrong that they will sell additional products to protect their OS?  Shouldn't that be included?  Why do I have to pay more not to get viruses?  Can't you architect the OS to not be as virus friendly like *nix or OS X? 

And if you're bored, which you must be if you've read this far, here is another good article about computer security.
