"Say something virus:?

[Johan_Elzenga]

Virusses that follow a pattern are often variants of the same basic thing. However, because there are no know MacOS X virusses yet, it's not very likely that the first one will follow a known pattern.

I've discovered the "Say something" culprit. It's a program for smiley faces. My wife's computer just got it with the smileys!

We deleted it it promptly. The shrinking windows and keyboard not accepting input is still unexplaned. They both tresolved spontaniously!

Asher, you didn't happen to visit a particular web site that started this? I visited a site recently, that I have visited many times before. This time, when I rolled my mouse over the red/yellow/green buttons at the top left corner, the computer said "say something"! I thought it was hilarious. I just checked it out, it still does that.

Well Ron, it is then funny but not!

I was so taken by this!

However, it does mean that someone has breached security. Well, whatever security we did allow to exist!

If it says "Say Something", couldn't it just as easily do something too?
