'AVG', 'Malwarebytes Anti-Malware' and 'Spbot Search & Destroy' which are all free would clear all the viruses and spyware etc from your PC. Much easier and faster than having to format your system anyway.

At least they dont get viruses

Actually they do, since they started using Intel chipsets they are getting targetted by viruses. They were bullet proof in the past but now it's a myth.

they're apparntly less secure than windows computers due to the way windows updates, not looked into it but that's what I've been told by a mac user, and he said people think they're immune to viruses and don't take precuations

Actually its just down to pure numbers, Windows occupies 95% of computers, so the virus makers will target Windows systems just for success rate. Don't assume Mac's are more secure, they are just less targeted.
