Hi,

I have a USB key that was unknowingly infected and contained to my horror a few weird EXE files. As soon as I saw them I moved it to trash and emptied the trash completely by holding down the option key.
I'm worried though whether its possible that these viruses have already done their deed.

Any idea as to how I can find out/ run a scan?

Regards

.exe files can not run on a mac.

No damage done.

Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)

Even if there were any virus's, they can only affect windows!

Thanks folks. I guess I can just forget about this episode and that I ever came across these files now that I've emptied my trash.
