Computer Problems -- What do you think??
Hi, so, I was running my Minecraft Server, so that means I had a port open, when suddenly it started going wacko and giving me lots of errors. I resarted my computer, and it wouldn't even allow me to login. When I tried it just gave me a blue screen for about 10 seconds, then showed the login screen again. When I restarted again, it worked.
So, what do you think, I have Mac OSX. Hacker, or not?
Yeah, I'm mostly inactive. I check in once in a while though. If you want to contact me, I have a contact form at my website, http://escratch.org

Actually no, a Trojan is a virus, or other form of malware that sneaks into a computer packaged as a program, or with a program.

A trojan horse is a form of malware that sneaks in as another application, like a "free video game"
Dont download free stuff. Ever. Unless, like me, you run AVG 2011, Norton 2011, and Microsoft Security Essentials.
...or it's trustworthy.
Back in my day.... there were no laws that censored the internet... now, there are.... nah.

I hadn't downloaded anything recently. So that's why I'm guessing somebody got in through the open port on the minecraft server.

Oh yeah, I thought Macs got the spinning beach ball of death?
You know that blue screen there is after the gray screen with the Apple logo when you turn the Mac on? It's prolly that blue screen.
Yawn.

Not really (don't have a mac) but I'll take your word for it.
