Well, I was wondering if the Aim virus that sends a message
asking to put a picture of someone on a myspace page to
everyone on your contacts affected Macs, and if so, how to
get rid of it, since HJT doesn't work on macs

OSX is supposed to be immune, but there is a Quick Time exploit that can cause an infection on a Mac using AIM . Is this your problem. The link to Apple for their fix for Quick Time is at this address;
