   malware is relatively rare on the mac, thus no need to run a utility.   
      
   it's mostly browser hijackers and crapware that claims to find malware   
   when the crapware is actually the malware itself.   
      
   mac os itself blocks as much as possible (nothing is 100%), but nothing   
   can prevent a user from typing in their admin password and installing   
   what looks like something useful, but actually is not.

   nothing significant.
