OK, this is a bit of a weird one, but this is from a first hand account from my boss, who is not given to hallucinations or flights of fancy. <g>. The story goes that a piece of Spam was received in the Inbox, and a "New Mail Desktop Alert" (the little transparent email preview that apears above the system tray). Happens all the time, except this time it was different. The preview stayed for at least a minute, and displayed a "hand" icon and a "Click Me" message. Neither of these were evident in the mail message. Is it possible that this feature could be under pogrammatic control by the bad guys? Anyone else seen anything weird like this? We are running OL 2003, connected to a Exchange 5.5 sp4 server.
