> Virex was definitely the problem, and it took a bit of hoop-jumping to find McAfee's uninstaller. Once you know what to look for on Apple's website (thanks Brian!), they say Virex 7.5 is not compatible with Tiger, but Virex 7.2 is okay.
Unfortunately, if I ever had 7.2 installed I lost it when Apple told me to upgrade. Virex is no longer a free download for dotMac members, so it looks like I have to find a replacement. (Or... is Apple so confident in OSX now that they think we have natural immunity?) What anti-virus software works with Tiger and won't choke a G4 iBook or G4 iMac? Automatic updates are required. Cheap is better, but I'll resign myself to spending some bucks if I have to.
