Greenfoot Virus?

In another failed attempt to move on from Scratch, I looked at the Scratch Wiki. I went to the Alternatives to Scratch page, and I saw Greenfoot. It looked cool and usable, and it could be used on a Mac. So of course, I thought "cool" and downloaded it. Then all of the electicity in my house went out for about an hour. Is this a coincidence? Or did Greenfoot give me some kind of virus? My sister was in the shower when it happened, and she got mad, so I want some sort of an explanation.

EDIT: If you are a mod, and you can think of a better place to move this thread, please move it. I wasn't sure about putting it in Troubleshooting.

I don't think computer programs can give you viruses  smile  They don't have any control over the computer's power supply, let alone the house's. It must have been a plain old, run-of-the-mill power outage  smile

Re: Greenfoot Virus?

I talked to my dad about it, and he said that it was actually because it was a rare moment when AC was running through all of our house at was, and it was too much for that thing that gives people electricity. But it was kind of freaky how it just so happened at the exact moment that Greenfoot finished downloading.  yikes

Ah - and this problem has then been solved and seems rather irrelevant then, doesn't it? I'll close this for you  smile
