No, I didn't install anything. The night before,
everything was running perfectly, didn't notice anything
wrong at all. I also suspect that this is a virus, but NAV
doesn't pick up anything. I will run a search
on 'secure.exe' and 'hidden32.exe' to find out where they
are located, their properties and then post them here to
see what you think. Thanks for the help. ;)
