The only authority I know to be 'trusted' is AV-TEST who keep tables of current antivirus products by OS, for business & home users. If you just Google it yourself, you will get a thousand hits pretending to be advice, but actually just sock-puppets selling their own 'solution' with no authority but their own. There is no single authority on which antivirus is best, but there are sites which test various competitors in this field. Shlayer's attack vector is usually a simple "Your Flash Player is out of date! Click to update." Click to download, click to install & you just invited it in. There are also fly-by attacks & social engineering/phishing attacks that you always need to be aware of. Shlayer is a recent example, but not the ony one - check the table on the linked page. AVG doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves, but it’s actually one of the best and highest-rated antivirus tools, according to AV-Test.
That doesn't mean Macs are immune - there are viruses/trojans/malware targeted specifically at Mac users. Most, but not all, Mac virus protection is there to stop Windows viruses being spread further.
