Could anyone show some light on the following problem?

When I type "Time" at the cmd prompt I get the time
separated by the word panic! instead of colons.
For example:
16:00:00 actually shows as 16panic!00panic!00.

I have run Symantec AV and Sophos AV on the computer and
nothing has shown up. I really do not want to do a full
reinstall for what seems petty but the computer does a
critical task.

Go to: Start | Settings | Control Panel | Regional Options |
Time, and see if you notice anything odd.
 
You're running some sort of "smileys" software, I'd imagine. Like,
something that would turn :) into smile! or something. Kinda along the same
lines as people who see "cracker" instead of "cookies" as described here.
http://www.aspfaq.com/2224 I have no idea what you may be running or
anything; this is just my guess.

Thanks I will look into this. The should be nothing like
this on the computer but you never know what those
developers do whilst your not looking. If it is something
like that I'll impose a rebuild from the Ghost copy just
to give them a hard time.
