AV software for Macs?

We are a Windows-based school but have added a handful of Mac Mini computers
and one iMac this year. Can anybody offer suggestions for antivirus/malware
protection for the Macs? We already have a solution in place for our XP and
Server 03 machines. Regardless of whether Macs are virtually virus-proof,
they are on our network and files will be saved on Windows servers. For me,
that is reason enough to have proper malware protection in place. Any
thoughts and advice would be very welcome.

PS - I've also been working on getting the Macs to authenticate through
Active Directory. The students will use the same usernames and passwords
as they do for Windows machines and so they'll have access to their private
network folders. I welcome suggestions/tips from anybody who has been able
to get this to work.
