Potential Virus?

[meyer0095]

I was searching the internet. Using paypal and MSN. I was also logged into a Java based game called Runescape.

The above icon popped up in my dock for literally half a second than disappeared.

I have seen the icon before usually when running Java programs or dual platform (Windows/OS X) programs.

First thing that came to mind was a keylogger/virus. Should I be worried?

Anything I can do to try to find out what it was?

I am on a 2007 iMac 20" if that helps at all.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nothing to worry about, there are zero, none, nada, zippo Mac viruses.

How can you be so sure?

The popularity of Macs has gone up in recent years. I am sure Mac Viruses exist...

Also, if it was written in a language such as Java, couldn't it work for both Windows/Mac.

If you're so sure, name one. Just one. Or, instead of wasting time in that futile effort, you can read and educate yourself to the facts:
