  hi, sorry i am not good with technical aspects of programming, so may
  have muddled this. what _is known is that the problem _is associated
  with a file (an image) that _does contain a windows based virus, and
  as a result of clicking on it, it reboots the finder and makes 
accessing
  the file impossible. maybe not a virus, itself, doing this, but how it 
may
  interact with the system as a devious file may indeed be relevant. bc
