I need something that is free to scan my computer for viruses or spyware...my wireless told me that I have a "blast" virus....HELP:apple:
 
Your wireless router speaks to you?

Seriously, you have about a 0.0000001% chance of having a virus on your Mac while running OS X. If you're in Windows on the other hand....

ClamXAV is a fine free virus scanner, but all it can do is scan for known viruses that it has in a database. Since there are no known viruses....

(I'm in OS X) yeah, I opened My web browser and my Netger router post an error page and it say the I have a "Blast" virus....Could that be on my other windows PC which are connected to the same router?
 
Sounds like a typical pop-up ad to me.

FYI: Not only would your wireless router probably never inform you of a virus on your computer, I doubt it would inform you of a virus on a different computer altogether. I could be wrong (it's happened before :eek: :rolleyes: ) but I've never heard of such a thing happening.

As long as you are working in OSX, I wouldn't worry about it.

It sounds like you've fallen for a pop up. Just like the ones that say my Windows installation is running slowly but I'm using OS X...
