I recently downloaded a file from sumex which after running for a few
seconds, crashed on me.  The mouse was frozen, so when I reset the Mac
the hard drive wouldnt come up and it was treated as an non-mac disk.
Was this a freak accident or are there virus programs out there which
attack macs?  If so, is there a program that can successfully detect
virus programs?  Help...........

Thanks in advance,
Mike McCann
