I thought I had a curiosity...but now I'm worried.  I have a few icons on
my Mac II hard disk system that have become 'grapes'.  When I showed this
to someone, he thought he remembered this symptom as being one associated
with a trojan horse or worm.

Is this the case?  Is there something out there that might be lurking in 
my files?  Or can this phenomena be explained in some rational way?

The icon looks like a cluster of grapes on it's side....anyone else seen
this?  Thanks for any and all help....sorry if this make me seem 'silly'.
