Unhappy Something weird is going on with my iMac ...

I have been having weird problems all week.

The only thing I really remember is leaving my browser window open overnight, and I think it may have had some cookies in it. Either way, the next morning I came in to find that Safari was all mucked up. Since then, I've been finding other windows like this more and more often.

I've taken a screen shot, perhaps someone here can tell me what is going on?

It looks like my problems are getting worse. This time, it seems to be affecting the trash. I did have some items in there, but now they're all over the desktop!

I think I'm onto something here!

I opened the Games folder to find that all the icons were mucked up. Some of them were even broken, or gnawed on. I also spotted these tracks, left in the folder. I'm no hacker, but I'm pretty sure they're not meant to be there.

Aha! I think I've isolated the problem!

I loved that one, but wasn't absolutely sure (at first) if it was a joke or something more sinister, so I didn't want to post!
