At this point, I am not sure that the beta version was the cause, but I thought I better warn others.

I use two commercial virus scanners each night to check my files. Yesterday, unziped the beta version and used it to modify several web pages. When I started to ftp them to my site, the files that I worked on and only the files that I worked on started to self-replicate. I had 1000 copies of a single page in a matter of minutes. I was able to isolate them and delete those files.

Thanks for the info, so far, I do not think anyone else reported anything similar. Was this as you ftp'ed them for on your local computer?
What ftp program did you use btw..
