i am not exactly a mac person but the words "virus scan" come to mind.
- _salisae_0
yes, well.
i don't have that. will buy it if i can determine whether i actually need it.
thought there may be a way to troubleshoot and see.
thanks for your input, lis :)

well i think you actually need to have it already to determine if you really need it!

what type of mac do you have and what are the symptoms? My iBook was acting kooky and thanks to nburlington on NT i found out it's part of a series that has logic board problems. It's at Apple now, being operated on by the finest computer physicians in the galaxy (at least that's how the episode of iER is going in my head).

rare but they come sometimes without any reasonhad my first one just after xmas, so i copied everything on the new 250gb external hd i got for xmas (man was i glade to have that, as i was fully booked on all the storage devices i had already) and did a clean install..
