ml> you may have a rogue browser plugin...

 RW> Rogue, as in?

rogue as in basically a trojan... in other words, you visit a site and
there's content there you (think) you want to see but the site tells you
you need to update your flash or pdf reader or video codec and offers the
supposed update to you... so you download it and the infestation ensues...

granted, i used the term "browser plugin" but i was meaning all
of the above... it may have been a fake codec... i don't know where roger
goes or what his level of knowledge of the software on his machine is or
his gullibility factor in situations like that...

here's another example... what whould you do if you found a USB stick
laying on the ground outside your home or office?
