anti virus

Norton makes Mac-compatible antivirus as do McAfee, Intego, et al.

If you want something that you can download immediately, there are free and paid apps available at the Mac App Store. Just search for "virus" and you will see several options that you can download straight to the computer and start a scan.

What makes you so sure you have malware?

Anyway, try ClamXav. Definitely avoid Norton for Mac and especially MacKeeper.

Hi ...

Excellent information here > Thomas' Corner : Mac Virus Guide

Whatever you do, do not install Norton / Symantec anti virus software on your Mac. It will slow the drive to a crawl and cause you nothing but trouble.

The following link is an ASC forum search for Norton with less than favorable comments > Community Search: Apple Support Communities

Hi bfrazier76,

Can you send a copy of the suspected malware to sample@virusbarrier.com?
