Russ,

Since the virus definitions are Mac only ti is very limited if not  
useless. Most of us who have an anti-virus program installed have it  
so that we will not pass on Windows virus to other people. So my  
choices:

Intego Virus Barrier. Very  good, runs in the background and does its  
job. Virus definitions generally updated every month but more  
frequently if needed. About $80.

ClamXav -- a free source program and the command line version is  
Clamav. ClamXav provides a GUI front end. One part of it watches  
downloads. You can schedule a scan when it will not bother you but you  
will not notice it anyway. You can also schedule downloads of virus  
definitions daily.
This is free ware although he would like a donation if you want to  
make one through PayPal. I am running this and like it.
