You don't need Antivirus on a Mac (not at the moment anyway)

http://www.apple.com/downloads/ some free stuff direct on apple site. otherwise type in "free software for mac" in google.

You really don't need any at the moment, unless you visit dodgy websites! But if you exchange a lot of documents with PC users, especially Office (Word, Excel) etc you could be open to macro viruses which affect their office documents, but they won't affect your Mac system.

The best free Mac OS X anti Virus, is ClamXAV available from http://www.clamxav.com/
