Best Answer

There are no viruses that infect Mac OS X so it is impossible to detect a virus. You can use ClamXAV to check if there are Windows viruses that you may be passing onto people using a computer with the Windows operating system. If your Mac software is up to date it will inform you if you have managed to download and install some form of Malware on your Mac.
