It is not true that Macs are immune to virus attacks, it is just that no self respecting hacker cares enough to write one.

That minute market share is what is protecting Macs. They are just as easy to write viruses for as Windows boxes.
Only, why bother?

Well, not quite as easy. Unix is pretty sophisticated for the average hacker. And, it's true that there's more bang for the buck attacking Windows (the market share thing). Apple seems to be keeping on top of things. We get the occasional security update sent down the wire.
