Should I panic?!

[MST]

I logged onto my iMac earlier on and an MSN conversation window appeared as if a friend was sending me a file and asking whether it was ok to upload it to Facebook, I accepted and upon receiving I foolishly tried to open .zip file which in turn created a document file that could not be opened.

I have since found out that this is highly likely to be some kind of worm, should I be worried about it on my Mac?

i really wouldn't worry! if it was anything evil, it would have asked you for a password!

I doubt you'll have any issues. I would google the filename though just to be sure.

No, you're absolutely fine. At the moment your mac is immune to those sort of things.

Cheers for the reassurance guys, now I know why I've set up a standard account to use on a day-to-day basis as opposed to using an administrator account, I realize Macs generally are pretty safe from stuff like this but you can't help but worry

On a slightly brighter note; I just ordered myself an 8GB iPhone, which should tide me over until the 3G model comes out later this year, and it also gives me something to fiddle with in the mean time
