Got a Computer Virus? Here's What to Do (and Not Do)
DO: Update and run your Anti-Virus program
The most obvious thing to do when your PC becomes infected with malware is to update you anti-virus software (such as the Switched-endorsed free AVG) and run a full system scan to root out and clean out the offending software. This is the only way to confirm for sure that you have a virus, and the easiest way to remove it from your system.
While there are no viruses for the Mac, we have already seen one report this year of a nasty Mac-specific piece of malware and more are likely to come in the future. As a precautionary measure we suggest you get ClamXav, an OS X version of the very good Clam AV anti-virus package, to help keep your Mac clean.

BEWARE! I purchased a virus download/firewall/spyware program from McAfee and it made my entire system crash!!! The techie that I had to hire said that that was not uncommon! Also, while McAfee did refund my money, they refused to compensate me for the cost of the techie. Bad Business.
