Antivirus for Mac

[eugegall]

I've obviously been watching too much p**n or something.

My Hotmail account seems to be hacked, sending emails to anyone I've ever sent an email to. Ive changed password but this message keeps popping up which makes me think that my system has Malware or a Virus of some sort.

Whats the best application to use to scan my entire system for a bug of some sort? preferably free??

Highly annoying.

Cheers

Sophos is good to have running in the background - just in case!

Yes HTTPS is more secure so it will help to combat the problem, but it's not 100%. Just so you know mate that URL in your OP is a legit Microsoft Hotmail one, not sure why you're not getting certificate verification; if you were on Windows I'd tell you to check your HOSTS file but it's not that straight forward on a Mac.

Have you flushed the cache in Safari?

*Edit - Actually what do you get shown when you click on the 'Show Certificate' button on the popup?

Sure it is. Start Terminal, "cat /etc/hosts"

Is the clock set correctly?
