Can't be Windows Updates as I've started testing with XP SP1 and walked
though all updates to version SP2 then all updates and then SP3 and
updates, not able to repeat any reported problem with it.

I'm suspecting it's something that was on the machine, malware, that
targets multi-av as well as other tools.

I think I've already said there is no malware on this machine. And, at
the time of the incident, I was downloading definitions, not doing a
scan.

I suspect what you suspect is unlikely.

I ran a full scan with NOD32, SuperAntiSpyware and MBAM. Except for the
"trojans" that NOD32 always picks up--i.e., tools from Bootdisk and
Nirsoft, as well as ComboFix, all of which I've had on this machine
since 2006--and some 35 tracking cookies, the scans picked up nothing,
and the computer is not behaving strangely otherwise. If there is some
other scan I can run in order to satisfy you that this is not a
malware-related issue, please let me know what it is.

If you think it will be useful, I can also post a link to my scan logs,
as well as a current Hijack This log, for your perusal.

No, not needed.

I don't think it malware related.

Next time remind me to just email you and leave it at that. What a
cluster****. Sorry.
