I see people mentioning ~/Library/LaunchAgents to look for suspicious apps. I should mention there are at least 4 other places where a launch agent could start on OSX:
~/Library/LaunchDaemons
~/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchAgents
Not to mention Login Items under System Settings.
Finally, I hope it's obvious if you're infected for all you know all your legitimate looking launch agents could be infected and secretly run the malware in a background process upon execution.
