The very best virus scanners are free. Mcafee & Norton Antivirus are mostly hype and won't do as good as the free ones.

◙ Download and install AVG free. Use it first and see if it finds any viruses or trojans.

◙ After running AVG go here and runn this one online. No need to install it.

Get the spyware system "Spybot". It's free, does a great job. But also make sure to get good virus protection - Norton makes the best right now, and it's only $40 per year subscription. MacAfee won't pick up enough of them.
