For the Mac users on my list...

Given that Macs have increased drastically in popularity, I have to presume they have also increased drastically in vulnerability. What's a good antivirus/antispyware/etc. package for my Macs?

Not close... unless you mean off the end. Apple actively supports only two major versions of MacOS: whatever is currently shipping and the one before it. Those are 10.7 and 10.6 respectively. Version 10.5 is past its official end of life.

Regarding anti-virus, 99.995% or thereabouts of the viruses that the Mac scanners scan for are Windows viruses. They don't execute on Macintosh, of course, but if they are embedded in mail messages and Word documents and PDF files then they can be transmitted to Windows compies where they can do their damage. If you have a corporate policy that requires anti-virus then get ClamXav and set it to watch your downloads and documents folders and maybe your mail cache folder.
