Got this virus message today when running Safari on 10.5.8. Seems common on WIndows but can see nothing about this for MACs. Force Quitted to get out. How do I remove or do I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
 
You most likely saw a pop up ad that gave a bogus virus alert to coerce you into buying needless antivirus software that might actually be malware. For more info, see here:

Snow Leopard does have limited antivirus tools but you might look to a more full featured anti virus tool [FREE]:
