Not sure what to make of this. When I left for QuizWedge's wedding, I left on my G5 iMac (display off) with EyeTV installed to make sure that I did not miss the newest episodes of SMALLVILLE and MYTHBUSTERS. I thanked God yet again that EyeTV is so reliable and MacOS X is rock solid. When I got back, I was SHOCKED to see that the iMac was OFF. I suppressed the desire to hit something, and decided that I had probably accidentally turned off the iMac on the way out the door. I turned it back on, and was amazed when I saw it spontaneously shut down minutes later. I have been trying to diagnose the issue over the days since then, seeing the iMac stay up for hours at a time sometimes, minutes at other times, and finally restarting one time at 1 AM and waking me up. I checked out the UPS I had it hooked up to, the hard drive, the hardware, etc. and everything looked kosher. But it was unstable enough to actually shut down during an iTunes download of the newest Law & Order episode.
Finally, I realized it has been months since I had run Virex or ClamXAV (virus scanners). I figured, why not?, and went ahead and ran Virex. (After updating it to the newest defintions.) It did indeed find 2 "possibly infected" files, and deleted them. It would not tell me anything else. But after removing those files, the iMac remained up for more than 24 hours! I am still waiting - you never know - but it appears I may have been infected with something (virus, worm, or trojan horse).
Anyone else experiencing similar issues?
