so please forgive me on this question. I looked for my answer and couldnt find it. and i know this topic has been talked to death but nobody gives you a straight non biased answer.

I got my first Mac yesterday after years of crappy Window PCs....the lower end 15 Mac Pro. I had to get Office to make it compatible with PCs otherwise I would have got iWork. I also use Firefox as my web browser.

and i know i dont need antivirus but i would like some type of protection.

so my question is: what free programs would protect you against privacy and personal issues such as data or spyware? And against Microsoft Office viruses that it brings in? And I know people don't like Java and you should block it?
