I don't know why the Multimodules are causing your computer to crash,
but they are definitely not viruses and come with the original
distribution disks for After Dark 2.0.

THings like Stormy Skyline are a combination of the Rainstorm module
and the Starry Skyline module and are normally perfectly innocuous.
I'd try pulling everything out and running under Finder to test AD. If
that doesn't work, try it on a different machine. The only conflict
I've had which I can't pin down exactly is that some programs do sound
in a way that seems to cause AD to crash. I was having some troubles
for a while that went away when I told Remember? not to play alert
sounds. Couldn't duplicate the problem at will though. So check for
sound stuff happening when AD crashes as well.

Good luck and I'm sure Bruce Burkhalter will post with more help in a
bit.
