Only thing I can think of. I haven't DL or installed anything new for
software. No virus detected, and I don't do much on the net where I would be
likely to pick anything up. I didn't find anything in the scan logs for AV
that concerns me for scans leading up to the beginning of the issue.

Hmmm! Never heard of this one before. I do wonder if there is an update that
did do something strange.
