This can be done using a program or application called WIL (Windows
Interface Language). All it does is allow the user to create windows within
windows (which is what the message below seems to indicate), the WIL program
is realatively trouble free except that it can be anoying, and that it could
be coupled with other scripting tools to collect and capture other windows
information. It could be that you have a semi-hacker wannabe on site and
he/she is just playing with a new toy, however, don't rule out the fact that
it may be something else more destructive and malicious.

Subject: Can you ID the program that did this??
Hi,
Recently, one of our users reported the following. I was wondering if
anyone could identify the program that might have caused it, if it's
publicly available.
A user on our system (using Windows and running ICQ, in case its relevant)
was going about their work when suddenly a window popped up with the
message "Message from a friendly hacker. Just wanted to let you know your
computer is hackable." The only button available to push said "OK". The
message was in various type styles and fonts. The window specifically did
not have a title bar or side bars - it was a simple, blank window. There
were also no commercial markings anywhere in or on the window.
If you can identify a program that might have done this, I would
appreciate it immesurably. As it is, we really don't know what we are up
against.
Thanks very much,
Richard Hakim
