Every once in a while I get redirected from one of my common sites to the BS anti-virus software. I run MacAfee and shows my computer to be clean.

Why are you scanning, if you know it's a BS av site? (nt)

And to look for nasty rootkits, I recommend TDSSkiller

Agreed...but most of this BS anti-malware stuff starts scanning, or at least has the illusion that it's scanning the moment it is kicked off.
The best thing you can do is open your task manager and kill any task that looks bogus, or start the PC in safe mode. Run a TDSSkiller scan (look in my previous post in this thread) and if it finds anything have it remove it. Next run a Malwarebytes scan and remove anything it finds.

I used to run things like Spybot and Ad-aware, but I got tired of that stuff. And except for a brief breach of common sense, I haven't had any issues. MSE seems to be doing well.
If they get and bork my OS, I'll just wipe the partition.
