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.
