Utterly anecdotal, but I have never personally experienced this kind of thing on OSX since switching ~ 4 years ago. At that time, I found Windows PC essentially unusable because of the likelihood of infection which only seemed to increase when using the very tools that advertised themselves as tackling the problem. Of course, I mean the 'reputable' ones like symantec, mcafee, and avg.

Chrome app/extension malware can be handled from within Chrome itself, though. You only need a separate tool for OS-level malware.
