308695 2004-12-29 21:24:00 i loged into my account, as usual.
and a strange application poped up
i belive it is the microsoft html viewer. due to zonealarm teling me it wqas requesting internet access.
it had a strange file open
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Microsoft.hta

which contained

TG!¶’ò?²Ï#ª_þX!Ò*cöëϰãª?ÿÿÿÿ@¾"µÈó\Î*åªDw=†IÁ<޶ëmЍöª_þXc€#meaning less **** i had to put hereÿÿÿhÿÿÿ# crap="

and there were also many of those squares mixed up in there
but for on ereason or another it didnt copythem, or didnt paste them
so they arent here =(

basicly im asking, what the hell is this, and what the hell is it doing.

Though if Google was your friend you might've nutted that out already.

Then scan with the lot.

You may have a virus, maybe not. *.hta could be an .exe file.
