I have and it isn't good news, just check out the av-comparatives.org tests August 2010, it got a Tested ranking, didn't even achieve Standard, so effectively it failed many FPs, and only 80.1% detection. This has basically been the same for some time.

No need to reproduce their marketing propaganda in your post, anyone interested can co and read about it at their site.

So while you might not need antivirus software now, I’m sure you will very soon in the future.

If you want to stay ahead of the pack and make sure that you are secure then if the devices are offered antivirus protection, you might as well use it.
