iAntiVirus only protects again know Mac malware. This is both its best feature and its weakness, depending on your needs.
As a Mac only antivirus system it has very little if any measurable impact on the performance of your Mac. This is a good thing, as antivirus applications that don't get in the way are more likely to be used. The flip side however is, with no scanning for Windows based malware, you could conceivably pass a piece of Windows malware along to someone else.
It also has a nice low price tag of $29, which currently covers a license for three computers (it's a promo, so not sure how long that deal is available).
If you have a Mac, this is one of the good choices for malware protection.
