How good is Snow Leopard's built-in anti-virus protection?

Apple shocked the world by building protection against two families of Mac Trojan horse into the latest version of its operating system. However, the company is at pains to underline that the technology is not equivalent to running an anti-virus product (for instance, you can't scan your hard drive or clean-up an infection, and it won't intercept malware downloaded via BitTorrent or introduced via a USB drive). See for yourself how Apple's anti-malware protection performs in a short video from SophosLabs.
