How often do you scan or computer for viruses and/or other risks?

Never, I use Linux.

Because it's actually secure by design not by lack of users (unlike Mac OS X).

Whatever you say, man. Whatever you say.

Mac OSX sets new files to executable. Linux sets new files to not be executable. A virus is something that is executed without user intervention. Mac and Linux are both susceptible to Malware, Trojan Horses, Program Vulnerabilities and so on.

Why you would not use a Scanner on a Mac or Linux is beyond me. You can still fall victim to say a keylogger in Firefox or a Vulnerability in Apache that can allow access to your system.
