thank you for the prompt reply.. i do not have iWork 09, it was just a general question.. i just wanted to know is there any way as to know how a MAC behaves when it is infected.?? or does it just crash?

the larger the mac user base gets, the more of these we will start seeing

New Mac Trojan appears in pirated versions of Photoshop CS4 - 5,000 infected so far : Macenstein

looks like they found one in photoshop too... a mod might want to post this as a new story (or add it to the OP)
