I doubt you have a virus, so forget about that possibility for now.

Try running Hardware Test on your Boot disk. If everything checks out, then try running Disk Utilities.

ran disk utility everything is ok.

ill try the hardware test. but its just odd 2 me to get 2 kernal panics in the same day within 3 hours

1) If it were a virus...

The existence of any MacOS X virus would be plastered over the front page of MacNN and every other mac news site.

2) Post your panic.log (if they exist) here and we will *try* to decode them.

You do not have a virus.

You have a hardware problem of some sort. Or, you've installed some nasty system-level stuff.
