Have you found any good Mac-specific links on the web that cover these
issues in easily understandable terms? Or perhaps your group has an
article
or column on your group's website or in your newsletter on the subject.
Patrick Douglas Crispin has a good PowerPoint presentation entitled
"Viruses, Cookies, and Spam ... Oh, My! How to Protect Your Computer
from the Internet Nasties and How to Fix What's Bugging You on Your PC
or Mac (1.66 Mb)"
On his website, he writes that it is "free to download and use provided
that
1. You not make any money from these presentations, and
2. You give credit where credit is due."

It's a cross-platform presentation, but I recently adapted it and used
it for a meeting presentation to our group, deleting the PC-specific
material, and adding Mac OS X-specific material.
I gave the CD with my presentation to the club, to trade with one of
the other MUGs in our area for a presentation of theirs. I didn't keep
a copy, but I'll see if I can track it down. If I can find it, I'll
share it, FWIW.
The MacDevCenter has "A Security Primer for Mac OS X" by Frangois
Joseph de Kermadec [Feb. 20, 2004].
"A hands-on overview of the security tools built into your Mac OS X
computer, including recommendations for best practices to protect your
data and identity in an otherwise dangerous world."

On a related topic, MacZealots has a very good three-part tutorial on
"Complete Mac Security".

Hope this helps. Looking forward to reading the resources other MUGs
use!
