Ahandie....the "virus" that hit Toast's machine (actually mine) last night was a *.wmf file that popped a screen about "install, save, etc. In a second window, there was a prompt for a "script" which was filled with ??? marks, but you couldn't input anything. After a few seconds, IE would throw an error and the Microsquash "Send Problem" screen would pop up. Canceling it would cause a shutdown of IE. I have it written down at home. The machine did not have an AV program on it. I loaded F-Secure AV and ran a scan on Temp Internet Files....It came up with two suspicious files (unknown virus) and deleted them (that's how I set up AV). IE worked fine after that. I'm sorry I didn't save the report.
