Thanks cream for the heads up.
Random words and characters mysteriously appearing on the screens of some Windows XP and Office XP users are not the work of phantom hackers or a sign that users" systems are possessed by demons. It"s just Microsoft"s voice recognition system running slightly amok, the company said.
In recent weeks, several XP users have posted messages to Internet discussion lists and newsgroups reporting that text is automatically appearing in Internet Explorer"s address bar or in Outlook e-mail messages or Word documents as users compose them.
In a posting entitled "My Remote Keyboard is Possessed in XP," for example, one Microsoft customer reported "very strange behavior" that included letters appearing in input areas of the screen while browsing and writing e-mails.
