Errr... no, that's really very unlikely; there are just way too many existing bugs in the so that any malfunctioning would actually require something like a virus or similar. Maybe the system itself has one? Certainly this is not at all "the only explanation". But seriously: Please note that the original bug (CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0) has been known for a long time by now, see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows#GConf.2FORBit_COMM_FAILURE and references therein. On the other hand, we are open for any substantiated research in that area.
