Unplug your Mac
Take it outside
Burn it
Grind the ashes to a fine powder
Sprinkle them in the nearest river
It is the only way to be sure
Seriously... run iAntiVirus and see what you find
Delete anything questionable
If you are still unsure, do a clean install of Leopard if you need the peace of mind
Woof, Woof - Dawg

Ran iantivirus and it didn't detect anything...still trying to get rid of clicksor!
Relax my friend... seriously
Ok, about "clicksor"
What is it, and where did you find it
And why can't you just delete it?
Details
And what did you download and from where

Ok, thanks for the help!
Stupid question here
But where is the most likely place to scan if I were to have a trojan?
The HDD
Uh, no they're not; you might want to read the data on the page before assuming you know what you are talking about. None of them are Windows viruses from what I can tell. There's one virus called Virus.OSX.Leap, which propagates via iChat on OS X PPC machines. The other viruses are for MacOS (pre-OS X).
