David and All,
First, glad to hear the problem was found and fixed.
In regards to Mac viruses...Mac OS X, in particular, is very resistant to virus attack. Partly because the system is, by design, more secure but also because hackers don't tend to write them for the Mac (smaller target market, harder to write virus code, etc.). The one place, however, where you can be gotten fairly easily, however, is Microsoft Office applications. This is because many of the ones written for Windows still apply to the Mac version of Office (Visual Basic, Excel macros, etc.). If you exchange a lot of Office documents with others, particularly cross platform, a good virus checker (Symantec Antivirus, for example) is a must.

I must say how nice it is to have an in-house Mac expert as a forum member. :-)
