Marc,

Maybe you should try scanning for a virus before you install SF.
(http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_pcc.asp,

this site has some interesting info about trojans and worms yet I do not how
up to date they are, and I heard that Symantec has free virus tools) Maybe
there is some bug already in their waiting to play with an installation
file?
