This reminds me of a problem I ran into Asia. The cruise line issued me a laptop. On the last day this the screen would go white with a message that the ever friendly administrator had detected spyware. There was no way to get out of the message except to log off and the next screen asked for your credit card for downloading software to help you get out of the problem. Yeah right. That laptop had no firewall that I could see. Then I ran into the same problem in Singapore at the airport. I had to jump around from computer to computer.

This sounds a little like the same thing. Scary.
