I am on OSX and a few months ago I installed Sophos which is free for Mac (Personal use). I installed it specifically because (a) it was quiet. Set it and forget it. (b) it didn't take up many resource - Activity Monitor is showing 15MB RAM and 0.0 CPU usage) and third it was free.

I know Sophos from Windows - it is good software. ($45 bucks for Windows)

Grab it for Mac: http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antiv...

Sorry - I realize this looks like spam. I don't have a HN account and this is my first post. I assure you, in light of the malware conversation, I felt this was a good post to share as most Mac user (like me) don't have and don't need anti-virus software, but Sophos was a good option for me.
