A friends PC is totally misbehaving and I suspect a virus. Tried downloading the latest AVG buy it said the file was corrupted or modified (suspect modified) and would not proceed. I noticed one file in the \Windows\Temp directory called "Hi Alex.exe" and with a bit of investigation discovered that the file had originally been Autoview.exe from MS Creative Writer but only about 399 bytes instead of Autoviews 40,000 odd. It also used Autoviews icon.
