I have recently been blocked by an anti spam software Spamhaus. It just happened overnight, and with a large company I have done business with for years.
The only thing I can find from the spamhaus website says I may have a virus. That may be true because I've had a few font issues lately. Are there any suggestions? I hate to spend a yearly fee, but I don't trust the free online offers. Thanks.

There are no know viruses for Mac. As seventy one mentioned there are malware and adware that affect a Mac. Download and run Etrecheck. Copy and paste the results into your reply. Etrecheck a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here (and recommended by Apple Support personnel) in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits.
Well, This does not mean anything to me, but I don't see anything in red telling me it's bad.

What exactly do you mean when you say you were blocked. It is generally known that your Mac is safe from viruses and needs no purchased protection. It is not necessarily safe from malware but that can almost always be quickly removed.

I went to the website mentioned above, and I'm not on the naughty list. The only other explanation they have is virus, malware etc. In the past week I've had fonts go crazy, some software quit working etc. I had to reinstall some things.
Pretty clean system. The problem probably was on the other end. Are you still blocked out?
It wouldn't hurt to boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and disk. Reboot normally afterward.
You don't have a "virus," so running "etrecheck" was even more pointless than it usually is. If you actually read the page linked to the block message, it shows that you're address isn't blocked. So the mail server is either misconfigured or is using an outdated version of the list. Either way, you can't solve the problem yourself.
Yes, I agree with Old Toad. Your system looks pretty clean. You might try looking at this link which will tell you more about Spamhaus and the way they operate. I think they should be your target.
At the risk of actually answering the question you asked, try Clamxav.com it's free. It will give you some peace of mind, just avoid panicing if it lists many 'heuristics phishing emails' - this seems to highlight many valid emails that contain domains like Amazon, Ebay, PayPal etc. Moving or deleting emails outside of Mail.app to fix the phishing reports can break the mail database.
