Hi Alex,
It was indeed a virus, but a windows virus only (I'm _not_ on windows)
I got rid of it of it though so can't sent it to you - However, I would
appreciate a link or two on the "feature" if you have some available (my dad
always says "go to bed smarter than when you woke up"
Best regards,
Philippe
