Can I run sony Vegas pro 8.0 on a macbook or macbook pro?

I'm thinking about buying my first mac book, but I need to know if I can run sony. I have read things about the bootcamp program, but I don't understand fully. I use Sony to edit videos, amvs, mmv, meps, ect. Can I use sony on a mac without getting any viruses?

I recently bought a laptop, but it ended up being a lemon. Ive had to take it back to best buy over 5 times now for issues. Which is why I'm looking for a new laptop.

I know Sony is a program normally ran on windows, so will running it on the macbook make it open to viruses?

I want the mac to stay away from viruses, ect.

I use kapersky anti virus right now. Is it recommended to put a virus protection on the mac?

Does anyone use Sony on their macbook and have any advice for me?

I'd love any advice you can offer me!

Please help!

Thank you all very much!
