I think, based on how many times you have asked about anti-viruses on 
the newsgroup, you may have missed this sentence in his presentation:

Rather than asking which non-Apple "anti-virus" or "Internet security" 
product is best, a much better question is "how should I protect my 
Mac". Maybe you should also dwell on his three bullet points just prior 
to that statement.

I have always tried to follow common sense since I started using 
computers in 1983 and on the internet since 1995. I have fixed many 
compromised computers for clients during that time, but never had an 
issue with my own devices, outside of hardware issues.
