My gut tells me it was caused by spyware or malware or a virus. I add an
exception to the FW for Cisco VPN
but have had to for RDP. Today while reading MD RDP documents I ran across
something suggesting an exception
for RDP. I revisit it tomorrow. I didn't think to run treandmicro online
scan last night. Usually, the first things I do is run spy bot, adaware and
housecall.
Thanks for useful links.
