Hi Kino,
Welcome to this site. Hopefully, we can help you.
First of all, I would recommend you try the excellent freeware program ClamXav. Here is a link to download it:
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15850/clamxav
It has had numerous good to excellent reviews. If you want to read some of them, here are the results of a google search I just did for "Reviews of ClamXav":

fficial&client=firefox-a&channel=sb#rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&channel=sb&q=Reviews of ClamXav
The program does have some limitations (hey, it's free, so what does one expect?), but it's a good, first attempt. I do use it occasionally on both of my Macs, but so far, I have been "virus free".
Secondly, there is an excellent free program called Onyx that clean out quite a bit of "junk" and "crap". Here is a page to download it:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx
Since you are running Lion (OS 10.7.5), you need to download the correct version, Onyx 2.4.8. So, go to where it says "Related Links", click on Onyx 2.4.8, and then you'll get a small screen where you can do the download.
I've been using Onyx for numerous, numerous years, and it is definitely a winner.
Third, taking the optimistic approach that these products help you out of your dilemma, you need to develop a backup strategy. That is extremely critical. If you can afford it, get an external hard drive. 1 TB drives can be had for as little as $50 to $60. Stick with Seagate drives, as they work best with Macs. The only thing you'll need to decide is which connection interface you want. Since you did not say which specific MacBook Pro model you have, I do not know what types of ports you have on it. I suspect you have at least one or two free USB 2.0 ports, and a USB drive (even USB 3.0, which would be backwards compatible with USB 2.0) would be the cheapest way to go, although the slowest. Firewire 800 would be the fastest (and more expensive), but I don't know if you MacBook Pro has a Firewire 800 port.
In any event, you need to make a backup as soon as your Mac is "clean". The "best" freeware program for making a bootable backup is SuperDuper!. Here is a link to download it:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/13803/superduper
Don't worry about the cost stated on that link. You can use it for free, but some more "enhanced" features will not be available in the "free" version. Again, I use that program for both of my Macs, and recently, it was a life saver for one of my machines.
If you can't afford an external drive, there is the possibility that you could partition your internal drive (assuming it has enough free space), and backup to that empty partition. But, it will definitely be wiser to backup to an external device.
In any event, try ClamXav and Onyx, and let us know the results.
