You may have been infected with the Kak worm. It launched itself on
me yesterday, so I MAY have passed it to the list. This is NOT a
hoax. I'm an engineer by trade, and I know my way around computers.
I've been on the 'Net since it was text only. Please read the writeup
at

If you have Microsoft Outlook Express on your computer (if you have
Internet Explorer you probably do.) you are vulnerable.
It is more annoying than damaging. My apologies.
