             The 'comply.ini' file seems legitimate, though its location is
    unusual. Typically, comply.ini holds configuration data to assure
    compliance with BlackICE.

             Sounds like something got fat-fingered and possibly initiated a
    repulsively titanic paste into your Word document. Shut down the system,
    bring it up in safe mode and scan the system from read-only media with the
    latest data file of your favorite anti-virus/anti-spyware software.

             If everything comes up green after doing that, just chalk it up to
    the canonical gremlins of yesteryear and have a nice day.
