I always thought that writing anti-virus software for an OS with no
known virus was a racket. Also wouldn't it serve Norton and the other
such makers of software to "report" a virus from time to time if for
no other reason than to make sure you keep buying the subscriptions?

Maybe, but she has mistaken a false positive from her anti virus
software.
There is maleware available for OS X, but there are no viruses. That
is, there is no OS X maleware that self-replicates without active
end-user collaboration.
The fact that less than companies will sell you quote antivirus
unquote software just demonstrates their lack of honesty. Would you
buy software that supposedly protected your computer from dinosaurs
and dragons?
Now maybe someday some how someone will create a true OS X virus. And
maybe people with Norton OS X antivirus will be in better shape than
those of us without it. But I doubt it. Given that Norton is happen
to sell people false promises now, they don't inspire me with much
confidence.
