Mac Virus??

[Chundles]

I may be missing something but it doesn't look like this thread has answered the initial question (although the discussion about the theoretical possibility of macs getting a virus is interesting). The reason I'm posting is because I have seen the same weird symptom on my Mac Mini recently. I have been using it for nearly a year now with nothing odd happening. However I have recently noticed that when the screen saver is on (which I have set up to use my iPhoto library) sometimes the pictures are obscurred by weird looking cartoon graphics/icons. Two that come to mind are of a sunflower and of a purple monster face. They are quite blocky looking and despite the debate in this thread my first thought was virus. You'll have to trust me that I am not making this up, the images in iPhoto do not have these weird additions and I have not been experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs. I'm not saying this IS a virus, just asking the question what people think it is and how I can get rid of it.

These little fellas?

If so then you might want to remove your iChat icons from your iPhoto library.

Oh Chundles you are good, you gave me a real good chuckle on that one. I must be very tired right now. 700 am can not get here fast enough so I can go home to bed. gn all.
