In a nutshell, I concur with Randy, but in a simple answer, if you don't
install Windows on your Mac, then you probably have nothing to worry about.
Here's the 'but": if you do install Windows, then that Windows setup is
just as vulnerable to malware as any other "PC" brand that comes with
some version of Windows, but the Mac side will remain unaffected.

Thank you (and everyone else, too) for this information/confirmation! I did go in and make sure that my Office Word/Excel won't allow any macros without my accepting them first.
What a helpful group this is!
Thanks!

That is a good move to disable macros, but to be clear, Office Word/Excel is not Windows.
What Jurgen is speaking of is if you are running a virtual machine of a Windows version, by means of BootCamp, Parallel or some other VM.

You can still turn it off under SnowLeopard 10.6.8.

Randy,
Thank you very much for the detailed "speed-up" treatise. I'll implement it today.
What's the recommended entry for the "Search Domains" field in System Preferences > Network > Ethernet?
Thanks,
Dave

I installed the new modem (it's an SMC D3GNV) & have enjoyed an increase in my download speed to 24.52 Mbps. I pay for 16Mbps so I'm pleased.

I did that, but gave up when it got past 25,000 items and was still going strongly, but slowly.
Jim Smith's suggestion about turning on "All my files" did give me almost what my mother had and is instantaneous. So thanks to you both for the suggestions.
Now, I don't want to be greedy, but the final feature that was so useful was that when she clicked on one of the photos in "All my files" its path would show up at the bottom of the window, so we were able to quickly discover where the missing files had been stored.
Does anyone know how to make the path to the selected file show up in the bottom of the viewing window of "All my files"?

And then about five seconds after sending that message, I found that the Finder's View menu contains "Show path bar." That did it. YAY!!

It is, but that's just an alias to view your ~/Pictures folder. It doesn't scan the whole hard drive for pictures the way "All my files" does.

To view all images in Preview, as in any app, creates a heavy load on processor and RAM. So max the RAM.

On the other hand, Contact Sheet in Preview shows only items which are in the Pictures folder, which in my case includes only my iPhoto pictures and those saved there by some other applications. I have only about 1,400 pictures there, while I have almost 45,000 stored elsewhere, so I can't see those this way.

Another possibility would be to install Google Picasa. When you first launch it, you're asked if you'd like Picasa to find and catalog al photos on your computer. Takes time, but kinda cool and might be useful.

iPhoto does the same, and I'd guess that all photo library apps do.

I wanted to find a way to bounce junk mail back to its sender like I had in Snow Leopard. I was pleased to find online an Apple Script that bounces email back and then deletes the messages and puts them into Mail trash.
However it seems that the offending mails keep coming back into my inbox despite the fact they have been deleted and trash emptied. This happens a number of times and when they return they have the same timing as the original messages, so I feel it is not simply the spammers trying again.
Does anyone have a suggestion to deal with this or shall I simply delete them and forget about bouncing?
Charles.
