Malware (antivirus) software for Macintosh

A rash of Flashback infections has us thinking about malware protection for our Macintoshes.  Is anyone using a product 
that you’d recommend (or recommend against!)?   If you are supporting malware protection for your Macintoshes, is the 
impact on system performance acceptable?   Is it effective in preventing or at least detecting infections?  Are updates 
timely?  Is it affordable?  

Thanks for any experience or insight you can share.
