Time sink...

As I was answering email a little while ago, I noticed that something was accessing my MyBook, and it wasn't anything I was actively running, or my antivirus, or Google Desktop. Calling up Windows Task manager showed explorer.exe to have glommed nearly half a gig of memory and using 50% or more of the CPU's cycles.

I've thus stood down on my intended work and am actively scanning for viruses, bots, malware, and other nasties.

Rats.

Cheers...

UPDATE: Hupigon 13?! I am suspecting the USB drive that was the source of my previous problem as the likely vector.
