[muglo] Re: what do I do?

These will be Windows viruses and will not affect Mac OS X whatsoever

if you are running Windows via Bootcamp or Parallels/VMware Fusion,  
then you will need to have an anti virus program running on the  
Windows side to keep it protected

if you are really worried about it, go to versiontracker.com and  
search for ClamAV (a free anti virus for Mac that will remove Windows  
viruses)
download and install it, then update the virus definitions and your  
Mac will be protected

Again, I stress that Anti virus software is not needed on the Mac.  
I've been running OS X since the Public Beta (Fall of 2000) and have  
never once had a virus. Aside from a couple of Trojans that require  
the user to download it and enter their password to do any damage,  
there are NO viruses for OS X.
