There are NO known viruses that run on Mac OSX.Use nmap command to search your LAN for conficker :
Quote:
nmap -PN -T4 -p139,445 -n -v --script=smb-check-vulns --script-args safe=1 192.168.0.1-254
If there is any problem in your network it display output :Conficker: Likely INFECTED

You mean one of your Macs running in network with Windows computer is infected. If your computer is up-to-date with the latest security updates and your antivirus software is also up-to-date, you probably don't have the Conficker worm.It's impossible for Conficker to infect OS X as it requires both the Windows OS and files that only exist in Windows to function.

Advanced Lan Scanner is a small, easy-to-use, highly configurable network scanner for Win32. And it's fast. It's VERY fast. Advanced Lan Scanner uses multithreading technique, that gives it ability to scan more than 1000 elements per second! If used to scan ports, Advanced Lan Scanner can scan all 65536 ports in less that minute!
