Q: how do I check if I got any malware on my computer?
my website gave me a warning that I could have malware and it is advised to no view it, so since I have been updating my website recently I'm affraid that I could have gotten some malware on my mac. How do I check if there is malware on my mac?

If problems reoccur, you will need to talk to your site host, as it would be their servers that are being flagged in Google's database as containing malware. Many such reports are erroneous, but it would be something your host would have to address.
As to your system, again, there have never been any viruses or worms on Mac OS X, and only a few trojans, most of which Apple blocks from installing in Mac OS X 10.6 and later. So I definitely do not recommend installing Norton or any of the other commercial antivirus applications; most such applications, particularly those that have a constant automatic scanning feature, just cause problems. ClamXav should be all you would need, should you really feel the need.
Regards.
