I use ClamXav - never picked up on anything though. So it's either rubbish or OSX is as sturdy an os as Apple claim!
I use Intego. It is highly rated for Mac users. I have used for the past 2 years and it has not slowed the mac down. Please see the link if it helps.Any mac users running any anti virus software?

AFAIK as of this date there are no Macintosh OS X Viruses. There are Trojans but they require user input to install & activate. So they are not "Viruses" and they are no risk unless the user chooses to authenticate and install them

A new Trojan horse malware that affects Mac OS X has been uncovered by Macintosh Security site SecureMac. The Trojan is called “trojan.osx.boonana.a” and is being disguised as a video and distributed through social-networking sites like Facebook.
The Trojan horse appears as a link on people’s Facebook pages that may have the text “Is this you in this video?” in the link. When the link is clicked, the Trojan will run a Java applet that will download other files to the computer and run an installer automatically.
It is unreasonable because it obfuscatesI think that the generic use of the term 'virus' to cover all of the above is quite common and not unreasonable
Early Windows systems could (and would) be compromised
Home PC users would typically have admin permissions, and even with the latest restrictions included on Vista and Win 7, these PCs are more often then not a hotbed of infections.
