[Ti] Off_Topic: Are there OSX viruses?

[Matthew Fosberg]

Murray-

It is unlikely that you have a trojan on your mac, what is more likely 
is that someone else has your e-mail address in their address book on a 
windows machine that has a trojan, or that some spammer has spoofed 
your e-mail address. I can't think of any other recourse than what you 
are suggesting by contacting your ISP and changing your e-mail address, 
because in this case you have very little control over it.
