Congrats on snagging a new MBP!
If you want an Anti-virus app you might as well get it free. Clamxav is a free mac Anti-virus app. There seems to be only proof of concept crap viruses for Macs right now (in the wild)- you have to hold its hand to have it installed on your system, when it installs, it does nothing.
VLC is a video player that will play any format of video,this is also free.
Cocktail is a pretty cool utility. It costs $14.95.
If you do not like Safari, you can give Firefox a try.
Neo office is a Microsoft Office compatible freebie.
You can find these and more at versiontracker.com -

Here is a list that was started in '03 from some real Mac gurus (or wannabe gurus). The last entry was in Oct '09.
Your top 5 (or so) freeware/shareware apps for OS X? - MacNN Forums -

A MAC needs Anti-Virus? I think as long as you don't go to dark places on the Internet you should be fine. -

I heard that if you run a virus on a Mac, a rainbow will appear outside your window. -

Hmm, I might have to try that
With that will probably come the annoying MAC guy from the commercials with a Leprechaun hat... -

The first thing i did when work gave me a 15.4'' unibody MBP was to enable bootcamp.
The second thing I did was install Windows 7 Ultimate.
Never looked back.
