In 2008 Apple encouraged Mac users to install virus and security software on Macs. You can read the Apple Support Article: HT2550 here. Perhaps it's an acknowledgment that no platform is 100% safe and that computer users must take action to protect their systems, including Macs.

Apple then removed that information from the site but you can view it at the Internet Archive.

The note then goes on to mention three antivirus programs including Intego VirusBarrier X5, Symantec Norton Anti-Virus 11 for Macintosh, and McAfee VirusScan for Mac. 'Apple encourages the widespread use of multiple antivirus utilities so that virus programmers have more than one application to circumvent, thus making the whole virus writing process more difficult.'
