How do I know there are no Mac OS X viruses and malware out there?

Because the Mac product manager of one of the major security software companies told me so.

And when people tell me I don't need their product, I usually take them at their word.
As for saving your setup, see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151625

This is a neat little trick. If you create a new admin user, and delete your old one, all the files will be stuffed into a handy .dmg file which is easily opened, transferred from machine to machine, or whatever. However, don't hit the "delete immediately button"
