Mac is infected by the virus (types +++ automatically)
My Mac Mini has been compromised. I downloaded files & videos of uTorrent and after that the machine has started to behave abnormally.
Whenever I have started typing something, '+' sign Gets types automatically.
How to detect and remove this virus?
There is no such thing as a virus for Mac. Have you tried restarting your Mac? What happens after reboot? Download files via torrent is rather dubious and half legal decision.

I have mcafee - and xp said I was infected
Hello
Your system is infected with the virus, update your Mcafee and run a full scan of the system in safe mode. You can also try to download Anti-malware http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and scan your system in safe mode.
To start your computer in safe mode, you must press the F8 key before the windows screen is loaded (time between the BIOS screen disappears and before you get the windows screen).
Once you get your system clean everything in safe mode, restart your computer, should be all good.
I hope this helps.
