Security Enhanced Linux developed by the National Security Agency. (Linux SE)
But I personally do not have any experience dealing with it but that would be the OS of choice if I actually knew how to use it.
Goto TrendMicro, they offer a free online virus scan and removal.

You weren't hacked. You got a virus. Probably from a website. Use FireFox browser.
Mac is probably the most likely not to get a virus, since not very many people use a mac and people who make virii don't care about Mac users.
Well, actually. Nobody really cares about Mac Users. That's why there aren't any good programs for them.
