Hi ho...

I hope this hasn't been asked already --- I've been gone for the
holidays and just discovered the problem.

I read about WDEF A and B, and checked my system with Disinfectant
1.5. No virus of any type found. Since I use Gatekeeper, I then
decided to drop the Gatekeeper Aid INIT into my system folder. Again,
ok. Until, just yesterday, when I tried to Get Info on the Finder.
Click on the Finder, Get Info, and zap. Cursor freezes, various ugly
noises, etc etc. and then a reboot. I have a billion INITs running,
but narrowed it down to Gatekeeper Aid by pulling things in and out of
the system folder and rebooting.

The problem seems only to happen with the Finder, i.e. I can get info
on any other file, and I haven't found any other problems. Still, it's
a little disconcerting, so I thought I'd drop a note and see if people
know about the quirk, and if there's a fix.

Thanks!
