[QUOTE="Kuwisdelu, post: 573901, member: 44361"] There really aren't any real viruses out there for Macs. There are one or two trojans out there, but you literally have to install them yourselves, i.e. you have to enter your admin password to let the trojan install. And you'll only come across this if you visit lots of porn sites with strangely formatted videos. You'd have to be braindead to infect yourself with a Mac trojan. But if you want, download ClamXav. It's a free virus scanner for Mac. Right now, it doesn't really have anything to look for, since there are no OS X viruses, but it will find Windows viruses, which is really only important if you have a Windows partition or if you don't want to pass them on to other Windows friends.
