Anti Virus Software question

I've never felt the need to have virus software on my iMac but recently experienced a "malware" related incident that "locked up" Safari. As a result I'm now considering installing anti virus protection. Does anyone have experience with or a recommendation on what works well with an iMac desktop?

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Don't bother unless you use Windows on the computer or frequently exchange files with people using Windows. The type of popup you got is a scam and not indicative of malware on the computer.
