Canada is my city
iMac G4: 1.25GHZ - 1.5GB RAM - 10.5.8

Yesterday, when I booted up my G4, BitTorrent which was supposed to boot at launch. It tried to open, it bounced one time and it quit with a OS X Message saying it crashed. Tried relaunching. Still the same. Tried relaunching again. Still the same. So I decided to restart, same problem. My final thoughts were that the app was corrupted. So I found the DMG file that has this program, replaced the program, and guess what, it still gets that error message. Today, I launched Dashboard and while loading, I got a OS X Message saying "DashboardClient" has quit. And then the widgets couldn't load (at all).

Is this a problem with my Mac, this system, or a virus that make apps crash?

There is no virus, only bad hdd and bad permissions. Do permissions repair from diskutil or verify your hard drive.

your bit torrent app is looking for a file oh which it was not able to find. It might be a corrupted install of the torrent client.

Fully uninstall it, removing any traces of it, delete all the cache, temporary folders and what not that is associated with it before reinstalling it again.

How do I fully delete all traces of it?

NO!!! It's not the BitTorrent app, my iWork and iLife sets both doesn't work at all! Not even iTunes! Not other third-party apps such as MacTubes, iShow U and Paintbrush!

Now, what should I do:
-Replace my hard drive
-Reinstall Leopard
-Downgrade to Tiger
-Nothing, if the problem is my iMac itself
 
Did you choose to install the experimental leopard-webkit (537.xx) as system default using the included scripts?

Similar symptom where many apps stop working.
 
WAIT! I selected uninstall from the DevKit package, the next day everything worked fine (today). Dashboard launched, all apps work fine.
