I don't think its a virus. There still are no true MacOSX viruses out in the wild, though there have been a number of other types of malware incidents. None of them were designed to damage your computer, just steal your info. It's not impossible, but very unlikely.

if you have a clone of it before it started freezing, boot to that and see.

Great idea.
As I said, this machine worked flawlessly for around a month - maybe it was longer - and just started screwing up the last few days. I'm guessing virus, actually, but I can't get sophos to run as the machine freezes up. I'll try the new user if I can get it to run long enough to create one!
