My computer suddenly freezes and while i am on the YAHOO site in the search box these words keep typing over and over again automatically I am not typing anything

"man hand eight man hand eighth...."

this keeps typing over and over in the search box

this was really weird, any thought how or WHY?

Tuesday Weld · 05-22-2003, 11:55 AM

If It was my computer, it would be on the ground outside my house right now!

Woah. Are you sure you're not doing it somehow? Because you could have a Virus, sometimes hackers can take control of everything on your computer. I'm not saying you have one but you could. Maybe you should run a Virus Scan. Does it only happen on that pirticular site? Or has it only happened once?

Nanny Fine · 05-22-2003, 12:53 PM

It sounds like a virus. Run a scan and see what comes up.

*PinkLady* · 05-22-2003, 12:57 PM

Weird. It is probably a virus, but I've never heard of that one before.

peter may · 05-22-2003, 02:38 PM

its happened again, just now
again in Yahoo, it always happens when i am playing this song here is what is said this time

"k;lstates and Asia man a man fan a those sacks and this a race-as long sleeve "

er.hmm OK what the hell is going on????

pandora_spocks · 05-22-2003, 02:50 PM

Whoa! That is strange. Maybe your computer is posessed or perhaps a ghost is living in your house and typing that message to tell you something.

I don't know maybe it's just a virus.

Looks like you may have a hacker. Maybe the song you Downloaded had a virus in it? Better run a Virus Scan ASAP.

if the song plays then I don't think it can have a virus since its a legit MP3 And not a file made to look like an MP3..

as far as the typing... do you have a microphone or those types of software that turns what you say into text? Perhaps Its picking stuff like that up, Or Yes it could be a virus or a hacker (Though I doubt that)

If you want a free virus scanner, then go to http://www.grisoft.com/

If you want a free firewall that will prevent against Hackers (Make sure you know what you are doing when configuring it) then go to http://www.zonelabs.com

I don't think it would be spyware even though you probably have some on your computer... Not any spyware I know of would do that and if it did... it would probably go under the category of a virus,

Actully well the computer freezing could be a sign of a virus...
