   My question is: Should these programs modify themselves when I just
   run them.  All I do is run them and quit immediately and they are
   modified??? Do you think I have a virus problem???

Many Macintosh programs modify their resource forks!
All of mine do. If the program saves any "state" for you it is most
likely storing the data in the RF. Rest easy. For now.
