I clicked on a link in an email from someone I knew. Turns out it wasn't from that person. Now when I go on google, the computer downloads. I clear the download history. I would like to know how to scan to see if I have contracted a computer virus, and clean it up.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
What does it download?
If you have applied the latest security updates it is most unlikely that you have picked up any sort of malware that is affecting your computer.

I did a reset Safari, clear history, got rid of all the cookies. So far, it hasn't done it again. What it had downloaded were two files that I hadn't hit "download now" for. All I had done was open safari. I didn't recognize either file, so
I cleared the history. I had always applied all updates, so I guess it's okay. Thank you for your answer.
