Was it the evil, intrusive syn scan or the destructive OS fingerprinting
that 
transferred mstask.exe from your computer to the machines in question?
:):)
Or did nmap confuse the Windows TCP/IP stack enough that the stack
itself
decided to copy another program over mstask.exe?!?! :) Ahah!

ROTFLMAO

The ISS Scanner once got blamed for causing a user's CD to wobble, which
worked the cable loose, which cause motherboard hiccups. The user
insisted that the scanner was "abusing her system".

Ask him to set up a controlled repro, and make sure you bet him a 6 of
good beer over whether it repros. >8-)
