Good suggestion though.  I have two MS ones that are close together and
can't work out how to stop the bloody things interfering with each other.
Anybody?  Of course completely of topic really...

Probably a *really* silly question, but do they have a wireless keyboard
and/or mouse? And if so, does anyone else near them?

Almost sounds like a Macro virus, i.e. a worm that is running which is
opening and typing things, can you see any unusual process names? If you
disable Macros does it stop??

This is an odd one. 

Have a few users saying that very strange things happening. 

For example they open an new email and the signature block starts getting
deleted (she says she never had overtype on) 
Also getting word opening and closing and all kinds of bizare things as if
someone else is typing. 

We have W2k3, Office 2003, CMFPSv3. 

I checked a session and could not see any odd processes running.  I have not
identified anything with the virus scan. 

Got no clue. 

Any ideas? 

        Thanks once more.
