The default Mac firewall is good but I run Intego's NetBarrier third party firewall for maximum security. No anti-virus or anti-spyware program. None is needed and I have all the up to date OS X patches. As for allowing a hacker to gain access to my Mac, I may be many things but I'm not THAT stupid. If some one wants to gain access to my Mac Mini, they have figure out how to do it without my help.

The default Mac firewall is actually pretty good now. It even has a stealth feature for not responding to pings.
Of course, if you're a curious person, I think NetBarrier has a log that let's you see attacks and track back the attackers to their home IP address.
