Well you really don't need a Virus Scanner, I have not found a Mac Virus in
15 years now.
That said there are two that I would recommend:
First there is the free application known as Disinfectant, this is for Macs
running OS 7.6.1 and earlier, I am not sure if it works on 8.1 it might. It
also comes with an Extension called Disinfectant INIT {or something like
that}, it will take care of any of the old viruses that your old Mac could
get.
You can download Disinfectant I think, or I can send you copy of it assuming
that you have looked and haven't been able to find it.
For your newer Macs running 8.6 and newer, I would get Virex 6.1, this is
what I have. Not sure where you can find it, it is commercial.
