Question Feliz Navidad ?

Hi Folks
I've got a strange one here. My PC is generally working fine (2.6 P4 on XP Home) However just recently when I am on line (normal dial up) I get arbitary "Feliz Navidad" salutations uttered in an Amercan sounding voice through my speakers. I have searched for running processes/programmes & can find nothing obvious. As mentioned it seems totally arbitary and independent of whichever site I happen to be on. Any ideas?
Thanks a ton

Have you followed the sticky at the top of the list esp. concerning Spyware and associated parasites?

Greek God,

Which site were you on? My guess is there was a Banner Ad written in flash.

Take Care,

Quite possible - PPRuNe went through a phase of screaming at me from time to time, thanks to a banner ad. Scared the hell out of me first time...
