I can't be sure redhotpawn.com has anything to do with this, but it's worth a try!
My laptop started shouting 'Helloo?' at random times... I rarely use my girlfriend's laptop, but after using redhotpawn.com on it tonight, it too is shouting 'helloo'.

I searched these forums and found an entry that mentiones 'annoying female voice shouting hello', but I can't access the thread.

Has anyone else had this problem? any ideas what it is?
Thank you!

Could it be the advert for the smileys?

That one shouts "hellooooooo" when your mouse passes over it.

There is an advert there that does it, and it happens just when you don't want it to happen.

Of course if you have spybot and *Avast anti-virus installed you could sleep knowing that your beloved is not coming at you with a knife.

* or your brand of free anti virus software.

(It is that bloody ad though, the joys of non sub scum)

Why aren't you using the add ons that get rid of them? Or do you maybe have a liking for some of those adverts? 😉
