Hi - I attempted to log on to machine:

M37-332-2

in cluster 37-312.  Some joker must have left
a program running which kept putting irritating
messages in the background saying "Don't Panic"
and other supposedly cute stuff.

I logged off.  It didn't seem to have done any damage
other than making a directory "panic" but I'm not
an expert on this stuff so I'm a little worried this
has left some nasty virus in my account - how can I find 
out?

In any case the machine needs attention (as does the
idiot who set up the program).
