Online Viris scan for MAC?

Hi,

I have been accused by AOL of sending out thousands of e mails from an account where all the mail to( to stop getting spammed) and from it has been blocked for around two years.

They are adamant that I have a virus on my Macintosh(This is the only machine that has been online for the last 10 days and it's on a 26.4 dialup) causing this. They are unable to offer any suggestion to the name of this Virus to enable me to search for it myself and just say download some AV Software or go to an online scan site.

As a precaution I had my wife flash up all the PC's at home d/l the latest Virus defs and do a full scan on them- Nothing was found

Does anyone know where I can get an online scan. I don't want to install Nortons on this after the debacle last time I did that( Conflicts galore).

Personally I think someone has hacked my account details, it seems strange to me that the one screen name with all mail blocked, no stored password nothing in the addy book and not used should be the one to suddenly start sending all the spam they say I am sending

Thanks in advance

Cheers
