Bear in mind that xdonkey and limewire can access the same version of
the mlnet kernel I'd suggest avoiding xdonkey as most of the links
are bogus, use "poisoned" instead of limewire its better . . . just
better, and for other needs use azureus or transmission and explore
the wonderful world of torrents instead.
Basically there are no viruses for mac OSX since a virus only works
if it can propagate itself. Mac OSX offers only a dead end to viruses
so they don't even pass on to PC's (so far!!!) even the major mac
publications have poo pooed anti virus software for the mac as redundant
:-)

Any one got an explanation or having a similar experience to this?
Recently took the plunge and bought the new imac g5, no problems
for about a fortnight until suddenly a black box with the words you
need to re-start in several languages appears.
This then continued to re-cur at too frequent intervals. I
suspected the program xdonkey which I had just downloaded since it
has never been very stable in the past but I thought I would give
the updated version a try.
As the mac is new and hasn't picked up too much can't do without
clutter yet, I thought wipe the disc start again. This done, every
thing back to normal ie no more crashes. Until I left limewire
running. After a couple of hours I heard the big fan come on
(raises another question) and sure enuff crashed again. At this
point I'm beginning to think some major flaw in new imac Except my
brother calls me to say his g4 imac is doing exactly the same
thing. (Panther) We both play Call of Duty and often play on the
same servers.
Ideas anyone? surely not a virus!
