ok, I'm using my secondary computer right now because a minute ago my primary computer did something strange. I was reading a thread here at head-fi when IE crashed (that's not the strange thing...) and a male voice suddenly said: "Alpha.. Bravo... Charlie... Echo..." (I'm not sure if it was in that order)
Well, I instantly freaked out and shut down my computer.

Does anyone know about this? What should I do?

Maybe I should start using my speakers more?

My computer is up to all kinds of weird stuff at the moment... worst of which is, that it is only able to connect to the internet after about the 50th (NO joke!) attempt

Can't say I've heard of that... luckily my Virus definitions are up to date

It could be a virus or you triggered a online advert of some sort.

Yeah well that's what I thought.... So have anyone heard of the virus? Or perhaps the ad?

Do you use kazaa or some other program, i know kazaa has some ad where a cyber Cameron Diaz talks...really scared the crap out of me the first time.

One day, when opening one of those pages you are not supossed to open at work, I got this crappy music and a female voice saying: "Hi, I am Candy, welcome to my webpage...." and then all this windows opened at the same time. Lucky me, nobody was looking, but for a few seconds I felt really scared. Maybe Flasken was looking at stuff his mama should know about

My god, I think I've had a run-in with the same ad

A very bad time to have speakers on...

You should always have speakers off if you even think you might encounter risque material.

Could be a trojan, like sub seven. Using sub seven, you can make a comptuer speak typed words. I'd go out and get Norton and scan for viruses.

Wear a condom next time

Seriously, I agree with thecity. Update your antivirus software and do a scan. Better safe than sorry.

I usually take a hour break when listening to my cans. The incident happened in that moment.

 

[Mumrik]

I too take brakes from can listening...

I believe I was alone in the house at the time

Well, I can just imagine my wife's reaction if something like that happened to me in the house. Anyway, whenever I am working late at home I try not to look into adult stuff, just in case something happens.

Good choice... You'd end up in a world of hurt...
