HELP/newbie

I have MBP using OS 10.6.8 and I started having some trouble in a forum,, with whacky typing and I got some fake notices from Paypal and Amazon wanted me to redo my credit cards because of non use when I bought something a week ago.  I have never had a virus protection program on my Mac and I've had it since 2007.  At that time, I transferred all my stuff, including tons of email from my Windows computer.

Today I scanned local drives and it found ten threats as follows:

Eight are 

W32/MyDoom-N

One is:  Mal/Generic-L

And one that says it can't be fixed and a search found no information on is:  Mal/Bckdr-BE

Now I am not sure what to do next  The W32's have to be removed manually, the Mal/Generic-L and the Mal/Bckdr-BE just say clean up on the right.  Should I take my laptop into an apple store or other tech place to get these removed or is it just something I can click on and remove and know that I got it all?  It seems that they all says they are on Windows systems except the BCKDR_BE and that one nothing comes up when Sophos searches for it.  I do know use Windows on my Mac, but I did transfer a lot of data back in 2007.  I am very concerned at the moment about access to my credit cards, etc.  on my computer.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
