Like John I don't use any and I've been using a Macintosh since 1984 and I have never installed any anti-virus software and I have never had a problem.
The thing is that because of the infestations rife on Windows PCs it's fairly well knocked into all of us that every computer should have anti-virus software installed because even those of us who've used Macs for decades invariably use Windows at work where the company invariably installs AV software which is constantly warning you of things and having to be updated and slowing down your computer. Personally, I would take this opportunity to just scrap it and don't worry. The only reason that I can see to get AV software is to prevent passing on a PC virus or such to a Windows using colleague ... but then that's for them to deal with I reckon ... Also, I've been online since about 2000 or something so it's not as though I live in some locked-down Mac never touching the internet.
