| Agreed. I think it should also be mentioned that if you think you're experiencing some sort of "spyware" or virus activity to take a look at the environment you're operating in. If you're at work and are being "served" the internet through a Windows server (like a proxy server or similar computer-based router) then the problem more than likely is originating from the server, not your Macintosh.
Application crashes, like Captain Code said, are almost never linked to malicious spyware or virus activity, and there are lots of things (like bad RAM, hard drive problems, external peripherals, system haxies, and system add-ons) that would be more likely than a virus/spyware to be causing system instability.
