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......

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.

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?
