iAntiVirus get four of five stars in review
MacNN has reviewed iAntiVirus, rating the Mac virus protection software four out of five stars. It protects against Mac-based malware, keyloggers, viruses and Trojans.
MacNN has reviewed PC tools' iAntiVirus, rating the Mac virus protection software four out of five stars. It protects against Mac-based malware, keyloggers, viruses, Trojans, and other threats, while running in the background and available from a menubar. The software monitors the system and scans for prior infection. Users can also run immediate scans via drag-and-drop for individual files.
The primary con of the software is a lack of audible alarms and a too-brief visual alert. The fact that the standard version of the software is free, however, mitigates the cons nicely.
iAntiVirus is free to download, or users can purchase a $30 license that includes 24/7 support for one computer. There is a $650 option for a 50-computer volume license available as well. Mac OS X 10.5.0 or higher is required, and iAntiVirus is Snow Leopard compatible.

didn't detect the only mac trojan I've seen
their free trojan remover at least saw the trojan, but couldn't remove it.
for some reason iAntiVirus didn't even see it.
Had to remove it manually (just a couple of files, and remove a cron entry)
