How do I check my MAC for malware?

Is there a way to scan your MAC for any malware that has been downloaded? Or are MAC's not susceptible to these sorts of things?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

macOS has built-in antivirus/anti-malware protection, but if you want another means to determine if your Mac is "infected" I would suggest that you try either Malwarebytes for Mac or EtreCheck as the means to do so.
