WinXP Remote Assistance...wtf

Name: Anonymous 2006-12-11 3:14

So I went into Mozilla Thunderbird and opened an e-mail with .zips I sent to myself on gmail (transferring files between computers the hard way).

As soon as Thunderbird saves the .zip file, Windows XP Remote Assistance window pops up.

Could I have unwittingly pressed a (Windows Key + [something]) combination to do this?  I googled for possible hotkeys that open the Remote Assistance window but found nothing -- I don't think Remote Assistance has any hotkeys to open it.

I'm behind a firewall and scan for viruses and spy/ad-ware frequently with the latest definitions.  I'm scanning manually right now just to be sure, but I doubt I have anything (and no, I don't warez).

Also, netstat didn't show any connections to any unusual sites.  And I don't use Internet Explorer...

By the power of grep, xargs and coffee - yep.

Making it scan other than when it's scheduled to do so automatically.
