Is this what you are seeing (or similar to it)?  Are you using a firewall
for that PC (either on the machine or for the outside connection(s))?
Sounds like someone has their PC connected directly to a cable/dsl modem.

Hi,
Has anyone heard of a virus that causes a windows popup message to appear
with the words "you_should'nt_see_me" or similar? I've googled and searched
AV sites and come up with nothing. But I remember seeing something about a
similar message somewhere. Sorry to be so vague but that's all the info I
was given from a user in a remote office that wasn't very helpful! And no
other symptoms that they are aware of.

BTW we use up to date AV at 3 different levels, gateway, mail server,
PC/server

Thanks
Mike
