    Heads Up On The Talking Virus Worm - "Listen & Smile"

    Meanwhile, the hacker community was busy creating new and innovative worms, including one that talks. The Amus worm uses the Windows Speech Engine, embedded on Windows XP, to play the following message:

    "How are you. I am back. My name is Mr. Hamsi. I am seeing you. Haaaaaaaa. You must come to Turkey. I am cleaning your computer. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0. Gule gule."

    "Gule gule" means "bye-bye" in Turkish.

    The worm, which runs after the Windows XP boot-up music has played, also deletes certain files, causing Windows to fail. It spreads automatically via an e-mail titled "Listen and Smile" and alters home-page settings in Internet Explorer.

    Any idea what it sets your home page to?
    I have a friend who has some adware/virus problem that sets ie home page to some porn site with no location bars.

        No I was just reading about it in an article.

        I could see a lot of people being duped into clicking an audio link. That's a clever way to load stuff. Makes you paranoid to click anything.
