macscan is the only one i know of.  it runs w/carbon libs installed.  i
think there may be a total of like 3 spy/adware programs out for mac
(classic and x combined).  just like someone did a polling of the known
viruses and trojans, out of so many thousand like 120 affected macs and all
but 27 of those were m$ macro viruses and none affected os x.  i think your
biggest threat is your users getting irritated b/c they don't have as pretty
of a gui as x does.  speaking of which, i want some candy.
