Lynne:   There are Trojans out there that could do this, although I don't think they're very prevalent.  It could also be that you have something set up in scheduled tasks or automated maintenance on your PC that might need to open a DOS window that could look like that.   If you want to be sure, you should run a virus scan from an online service like housecall http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ to check your system independently from your current virus scanner.  I would also run Ad-Aware to check and clean any possible spyware. Click here for Ad-Aware if you don't already have it (it's free): http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5   Allen     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: March 3, 2005 8:18 PM To: CML@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [CML] Re: The phantom harasser on this list In a message dated 3/2/2005 10:00:44 PM Canada Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: You know I am not much of a computer person....but I don't think this is necessarily a person, sending the e-mails.......... isn't this how a 'worm' works......it infects a computer and send messages as though they came from any of the addresses in that person's address book.....or something like that. And the person infected does not even know that they have a 'worm'. Hello there. I was just typing on AOL and suddenly a huge black screen overtook mine and then disappeared very quickly. I am wondering if it was "copying' my screen and settings?  Has anyone had this happen lately? - Lynne A. New!
