Recently for no apparent reason my SE has gone flaky.
This problem may have shown up in the group before, but I am
a new reader and haven't had time to review the 40000 previous
articles.

After booting up the Mac if I double clic on the hard disk, its
name turns to a '*' and the window opens.  Now if I open something
else that name turns to '*' and so on.  If I back up and rename
everything to the original the system continues to work fine until
I reboot again.  Then the whole procedure start over.

If I single clic on the hard disk, '*' start filling the name area
until a box comes on telling my name has exceeded 31 chars.  After
I hit return and rename the hard disk everthing is OK until I
reboot.

Is this a virus attack?  Has anyone an explanation?
