Not meaning to trouble the harmony of this list, but well strange things
keep happing on my network... this time no music being played, but while
browsing a little dialog popped up I take it from teh browser - but it had a
safari icon in the dialog which basically said something along the lines of
"Downloading file wap.xxxxx.jar" - which I did not appreciate.

As I was coding at the time - this dialog came out of the blue and as I had
idea where it came from - well i quickly switched of the wifi and started to
search for this file (in the mean time the dialog disappeared - it never
asked if I wanted to download the file). I searched for a file of this name
with spotlight and nothing turned up - any ideas. links  or references? This
episode combined with the one a couple of weeks back makes me think I have a
local wireless hacker.
