For the last week, about once or twice a day, when I open a document in MS
Word, a little dialog appears with "Alien" in the title bar. It display a
new message each time, such as:

Never trust an alien.
Hip Hip Hooray for the Alien.
The Alien lives.

I also believe there are three new macros in my Word documents called
AutoClose, AutoOpen, and FileSaveAs.

So far, no virus scan that we have tried detects this as a virus.

Anyone else seen this?
