Hi. I'm a Mac user (OS X 10.5.8) I share my apartment with two people. My internet service provider, Time Warner, told us that one of our computers has been sending out spam and "quarantined" us. They will not resume service until we find out whose computer has been infected by spyware. We all checked our computers but no one has found anything. I've been scanning my Mac using MacScan 2 and iAntiVirus, but nothing shows up. I'm wondering if there are more ways to make sure that my computer is clean? (Also – I've read the sticky posts, but none of them seem to apply to Macs. Please let me know if you need more extra information.) Much thanks!

We don't have any tools that run with the MAC OS.

If you have any Windows PC's we can check those.
