i think posted wrong image. "your 12-digit membership number is..." have files on computer? locate files in question in finder window, take screen shot , post it.
you don't have virus, since there none can run on mac. iantivirus has bogus malware definitions list, making detection accuracy untrustworthy. make inaccurate claims existence of mac malware, in order hype need product. this post give details.

macs not immune malware, no true viruses exist in wild can run on mac os x, , there never have been since released on 10 years ago. malware in wild can affect mac os x handful of trojans, can avoided practicing safe computing (see below). also, mac os x snow leopard , lion have anti-malware protection built in, further reducing need 3rd party antivirus apps.
  1. make sure built-in mac firewall enabled in system preferences > security > firewall

  2. uncheck "open "safe" files after downloading" in safari > preferences > general

  3. uncheck "enable java" in safari > preferences > security. protect malware exploits java in browser, including recent flashback trojan. leave unchecked until visit trusted site requires java, re-enable visit site. (this not confused javascript, should leave enabled.)

  4. change dns servers opendns servers reading this.

  5. be careful install software trusted, reputable sites. never install pirated software. if you're not sure app, ask in forum before installing.

  6. never let else have access install on mac.

  7. don't open files receive unknown or untrusted sources.

  8. for added security, make sure network, email, financial , other important passwords long , complex, including upper , lower case letters, numbers , special characters.

  9. always keep mac , application software updated. use software update mac software. other software, it's safer updates developer's site or menu item "check updates", rather installing notification window pops while you're surfing web.
that's need keep mac free of virus, trojan, spyware, keylogger, or other malware. don't need 3rd party software keep mac secure.
