I was just doing some internet research (on Bernie Madoff of all people) when my computer (Apple) suddenly went berserk. (This has never happened before.)

A Microsoft Windows pop-up came up and informed me my computer was seriously infected by the Trojan virus, and showed me little icons that indicated my hard drive had 150 Trojans, my Document files another 160 etc etc.

An apple pop-up then informed me I need to download certain software to clean up the virus. I tried to do this but the download was unsuccessful despite several attempts.

This went on for a few minutes with the computer completely frozen.

I decided to reboot, and now everything seems fine.

Stomachmonkey: You're the Mac genius. Should I be worried about this??? Anything I should be doing?

(Currently everything seems to be working normally—but I hate to think there are Trojans in the woodwork.)
