Well remove it. There are NO viruses for OSX and not likely to be for a 
long long time. OSX is structured so that its vulnerability is minimal. 
In fact the most likely event is that you will download some piece of 
"trojanware" sh:t and then stupidly enter your password when it asks for 
it. Basically, you need to be pretty dumb to suffer any harm. You don't 
need "anti virus" software to protect a Mac and you don't need to install 
it to protect your PC-loving friends because you won't be dumb enough to 
forward PC viruses to them - will you?

One of the nice things about Emailer is that it doesn't attempt to open 
attachments and you can see the filenames if you do receive any. So if 
something like "nicepicture.scr" appears, you DON'T forward it to a 
Windoze user (well I do but you probably don't want to). ;-)
