	The 'comply.ini' file seems legitimate, though its location is 
unusual.  Typically, comply.ini holds configuration data to assure 
compliance with BlackICE.

	Sounds like something got fat-fingered and possibly initiated a 
repulsively titanic paste into your Word document.  Shut down the system, 
bring it up in safe mode and scan the system from read-only media with the 
latest data file of your favorite anti-virus/anti-spyware software.

	If everything comes up green after doing that, just chalk it up to 
the canonical gremlins of yesteryear and have a nice day.
