[comp.sys.mac.system] Disappearing menus

:Has anyone else seen such behavior (the desktop and disk icons
:remain, but the menus disappear) and have you figured out the
:cause and solution?

In my case the hard disk is freezing up. Once it happens I can't reboot.
(I'm exercising my AppleCare and asking for a new drive).

asked about disappearing menus.  Offhand, sounds like the MDEF virus.
Try getting a copy of Disinfectant 1.8, available at finer BBS's and
nets everywhere. I don't believe earlier versions will detect MDEF.
Also, Vaccine only partially blocks MDEF. For more details, read the
docs in disinfectant.
