Most of you probably are already aware but just in case:
Some "anti-virus" is actually malware commonly called MacDefender, MacSecurity and MacProtector.
Go to Apple support for instructions on prevention and removal.

There is quite a bit of malicious code out there pretending to be anti-virus software and no system is completely immune.
The following are all good well known
free
tools for keeping the computer clean and free of malicious code as well as other nasty stuff.
CCleaner
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
Revo Uninstaller
Avast! Antivirus
Zone Alarm Firewall
