    I find out that google voice searcher is perfect tool to write instead of typing, but it works only at chrome and limited time. Now my question is how to configure windows to use those tools for writing long text in notepad?

    I don't really use IE for general browsing, but I'm trying to test my site on it. However, when I now run it, some random voice comes up explaining how I to clear my cache and cookies. Where is this voice coming from?! My homepage is the default MSN one. I don't know when this started happening, but it might have been since the MS updates on Tuesday. Has anyone else heard of this, or have I got some weird malware?

    Edit:

    It seems to only appear when javascript is turned off and I restart IE.

    Edit 2:

    When disconnected from the internet, the voice doesn't start. To reproduce: Goto Tools...Internet options....Security...Custom Level... and under 'Active Scripting', disable it. Then restart IE and wait a moment (don't change/refresh page).

    I have never seen nor heard of this happening in IE. Definitely sounds like malware, or perhaps part of an IE plugin or toolbar (most toolbar plugins are at the least adware and many are spyware/malware). I suppose, though, that it could be something MSN has added to their homepage if it detects that JavaScript is disabled.

    My gut says it's a virus. However...

    MS Windows includes some aids to help people who are "handicapped." There may be a voice synthasizer that's audiblizing some message Windows wants to give you. You can find out by going to Programs -> Accessories -> Accessability. From there you will find a few utilities.
