Currently there are no viruses that target OS X.
However, if you want to feel good, try ClamXAV, Google for it. It's free and is not a great resource hog like Symantec, Mcaffee or some of the other commercial products out there.
None of the AV software currently available for the Mac will be able to stop the first "real" virus but will find Windows viruses, which cannot harm your Mac, and allow you to delete them.

Anti-Virus/Spyware for Mac
by winelvr - 1/16/09 9:15 PM In reply to: Mac OS X Anti-virus/spyware by VooDrewTry this:macscan.securemac.com/
You can also Google MacScan and get some reviews... free download and 30 day trial. Claims to be anti-virus/spyware and anti trojan too.

not an AV program.
Not sure I would trust, very much, a company whose web site offered links to discontinued products and links to non-existent Apple Tech notes.
Doesn't really inspire confidence.
