Finally figured this out - Someone had played a practical joke and turned on 
speech recognition......

I guess if it was a bit better (and recognized the speech correctly), we might 
have figured it out earlier......

Still - Have you got the number for Ghostbusters?

Subject: OT - Can anyone help? Possible virus?

Hi folks,

I know this is a bit off topic, but folk on this list always seem fairly on
top of current activity.

Have just seen some very strange behavior on a machine and was wondering if
anyone has seen it before.

Basically, I got a call from a member of staff, saying that her word
document had just started typing itself - She was a little shocked...
After a few moments of disbelief etc.. I went to have a look, and sure
enough, every few seconds a few dots would appear then would quickly be
replaced with text...

This is a copy of one of the paragraphs it typed:-

I then is used as a parent and a fifth in the area with whom she of time
zones in" votes remains in the lowlands loses by whom and without aten-K.
and a state lands plan lived as a threat warning light sentences that
advises device in the existing and planned I have problems of planning and
earnings and hundred N. E. D. and stuff about the is and I think all she and
her in the sunny and a half-month high spots in any way of them systems for

slowdown in growth is not nothing ZoeIs that he's been changed the gun is

the new plan with the executives it says Norman have80 zone as the Louvre

This seems a little too random for my liking - possibly random words
inserted from a dictionary.

Virus scanning didn't pick anything up

The machine is now isolated, but unfortunately I don't have physical access
to it for 2 days.

Has anyone got any clues that might help me when I do get hold of it?

Cheers

Nick
