My Pc Starts Talking......

[Yogi]

True.

Only KazaLite and IE open and all of a sudden out of my speakers some guy starting to say i'm greedy and having the new Def Leopard on my HD, resulting in doing hardtime.......

Anyone heard that one before??

If it's an RIAA-trick, i gotta hand the guys they're starting to get creative......

One thing; i don't like def leopard......

:blink: Yogi

[Spider_dude]

you have been officially haxxored by the RIAA

[Yogi]

[Evil Gemini]

LMAO!!!

[UKMan]

Looks like its back to the old "erase the HD and re-install the OS" routine :(
Never been in your situation B4 so have no idea what it is.

After UKMans suggestion to format and reinstall, look into better security. Is this on highspeed internet? Perhaps a router with hardware firewall.

I'm secured up to my bones........
Yeah, it's on highspeed......

It didn't scare me, thought it was just plain funny.

The machine i heard it on, isn't for sharing anyway....There's only legal stuff on it....

But thanks for the concern.

please do not reformat or re-install. you DO NOT have a virus.i first noticed this on this post here. It's just a sound file from the south park website embedded into the post. Something similar will be happening in your case. Muchspl2's post about the new Blink album (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=80350)

so i wouldn&#39;t worry, and i&#39;d never rush into a format and re-install. a lot of people have itchy trigger fingers these days and make rash decisions.

for those that want to hear the file - Judas Priest? (http://www.southparkstudios.com/down/download.html?file=/media/sounds/709/THATSHARDTIME.wav)

i hope this doesn&#39;t catch on, because although this one time was pretty funny, i&#39;d hate to start opening posts and people have added a different sound file to each one.

your computer is talking well i reccomend a psycologest ;)

:huh: I had something like that happen here few of weeks ago.

I had left my headphones plugged in and could only barely hear what it was.
By the time I picked them up to listen, the message had ended and I couldn&#39;t get it to replay.

I just thought it was something coming from the ad banner. :blink:





:unsure: I didn&#39;t realize html was enabled in the posts.

Isn&#39;t there some way for the board to be setup to block that type of post?

[the_faceman]

i hope so, because you can&#39;t stop it easily once the file has started to download. people will end up putting the sounds in thier sigs or something. If there was such an uproar about avatars and sigs exceeding 100KB for the benefit or 56k&#39;ers especially, then steps should be taken to avoid this as well.

I think you can turn off embedded sounds via Internet Options in IE, but i don&#39;t think people should have to resort to doing that.

just for example - that south park clip is something in the region of 643KB.

[UKMan]

Not the first time iv&#39;e been accused of having itchy fingers....there was this girl i once knew.......

Anyways, yes - i agree with the_faceman, although i didnt actually say you should do it and i did say that i had no idea - so i hope i covered myself in the cowardly way i do these days :ph34r:

Hopefully its just what the_faceman suggests it could be.

Peace

[the_faceman]

sorry ol&#39; chum, wasn&#39;t directly targeted at your good self.

[UKMan]

what ?? - oh....then i retract my cowardly statement and say go ahead and reformat :P :D :lol:

Peace
