You wouldn't happen to have been connected to the internet
without a router or firewall of some kind when you did the
new install did you ?? If so, you might want to search back
several days ( I think it was in this group or the general group)
that was named something like "12 minutes to infected" (and the
follow-ups from people who said they had it happen in less than
a minute. If you weren't connected to the outside, then I don't
have any idea how you ended up with "Adam" on your machine.
