You could have a look in the Mac forum but a quick google shows a few scanners you could check out, ClamXAV seems popular.

HI,

THanks for the replies guys.

I have tried clamxav and nothing is coming up on it however I keep getting a blank popup with upperup in the address line.I googled it and apparently its from a porn site however as this is a work mac I can assure you that I have not been downloading anything like that. I have my own laptop at home for that!!!

Any other suggestions would be appreciated
