Strange and freaky.

If the place is south of India and halfway from Africa to Indonesia, wouldn't they have been affected by the tsunami?

depends on how deep the water is around those islands. If it is deep enuf it will only come ashore as a slighty larger than average wave.

You could be right there, Dagger. I only saw a couple of references to the tsunami while I googling and from what I can gather, they weren't badly affected.

It is one of the 13 most commonly used in the auto-dialer scams: Comoros, Cook Islands, Diego Garcia, French Polynesia, Kiribati, Mauritania, Nauru, Norfolk Island, Sao Tome and Principe, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tuvalu, and Wallis and Futuna. Presumably, they are legal wastelands where anything goes.
Do you have any of these on your PC?

Active Ports is a good program for monitoring programs trying to call out. Get it free here. http://www.protect-me.com/freeware.html

How about that. I'm totally amazed that none of the anti-virus and spyware scans picked it up in that case.  Thanks for the link too, Mr. Snrub. Things have been going well since I cleaned the computer off and ran the recovery discs, but I'll certainly know a bit more if something like that happens again. 
Thanks for your link too, DD849.
Thanks again, everyone. You've been a great help.
