When I read this from my Internet machine, I looked at the status of Avast!, my AV program. It was OFF. I don't even know how to do that. I am doing a Thorough Scan as I write. If there's something going on I'll have to reinstall an AV program on my DAW as I tend to stay logged into PG.

I have received several emails in the last few weeks under friends' names, but which were clearly the result of worms. All the messages have contained links to Chinese websites, most purporting to sell computers. I have gotten reports of illicit Chinese activity from other sources as well. To my mind, Chinese black-hat crackers (what folks erroneously call "hackers", who are really the white hats) are ve-ry busy these days. Make sure your AV programs are on and up to date.
