There are no viruses for OSX you could have gotten

OSX virus scanners check for Windows viruses, in case you're sharing files with an unprotected PC.

To remove the MS Office Trial, just drag it into the trash.

How do you know? What evidence do you have?

There is no free anti virus program for Macs that I know of, which is irrelevant because YOU DO NOT HAVE A VIRUS. Windows viruses will not affect your computer

Here is a free antivirus for your Mac. But like everybody has said, you most likely don't have a virus.

I would repair disk permissions in Disk Utility and see if that speeds up your computer a little.

There are a million things that can go wrong on a computer - don't automatically assume you have a virus. If you can post in more detail what the symptoms are, someone may be able to help. Alternatively, if you have a local Apple Store, take it to the Genius Bar and show them (or ring Apple if you have AppleCare, or you have bought the computer in the last 60 days).

You do not have a virus; see this Apple discussion thread:

Try restarting your computer, then clearing your browser cache.

You do not have a virus - merely 'issues' with Safari.

Try clearing your Safari cache, restarting and if the worst comes to the worst, 'reset safari'.
