Hi guys I'd appreciate your help on this one. I've run AVG, done Housecall scanner, PestPatrol, Spybot, SpyCopy, Anti Key Logger trying to figure out what is going on here. Whenever I leave my computer for any good length of time and return to it I often find a string of letters like iiiiiiiiii or jjjjjjjuuuuu or other some other string of letters appear in whatever application I am running. For example the address/URL bar of Internet Explorer 6, Microsoft Front Page 98 or any word processing program I have running on top (TextPad, Microsoft Word 7). Yesterday I came back from a half hour break to find the HTML page I had open double spaced about eight lines down! I have a cable Internet connection and I also have Zone Alarm installed on my machine and I turn the "Internet Lock" on whenever I leave my machine for any length of time. Could this be a macro virus or worm? Please help. :)

You may want to try searching the registry for a key that contains "iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii". I have seen a virus create a similar key before. Also check your profile and see if there are any weird applications in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup directory. Sometimes a registry key will fire off the application located in this directory whenever a user logs in.
