There has been a nasty bug recently. My ISP has not restored my facility properly yet. And the Library service shut down for a day & refused memory sticks/CD's etc for a week. But they are servers.

If your Mac is of the new Intel variety - I suspect my prediction has come true. Because Intel is a big target and the new Macs use the same processor - it is easier to migrate virus code to the Mac. So the alledged safety of smaller numbers (a myth anyway) is now certainly not.

If you got the same messages I would say you have a virus. How are you posting at the moment?
