At the risk of sounding condescending, this is almost infinitely more likely. ;-) If not from a hidden movie then from a Flash ad with audio - I've come across these a couple of times and they are a right pain! I kind of assumed that you'd quit all running applications and was still getting the audio coming through.
You are right - I should have ruled this out more carefully. If I remember right I did quit FireFox and the sounds did keep playing - but I think this happens for a short while in any case? It seems to me in the light of morning that this is the most likely - it just felt like someone talking to me and continuing a conversation I'd had recently - the paranoia part. Would be good to be able to search the cache for all embedded movies and media - unfortunately I know of no easy way to do that - Spotlight does not index the cache. Anyone know of any tools - is the cache for Firefox compressed or plain text - maybe I'll write a little Rev based tool to search for these culprits - so they can be caught more easily? I've gone and had a mini security audit - from a friend. It seems no-one has had root access to the machine, and I've been the only user. No malware found or strange processes running - EavesDrop (a socket listener) had been logging everything going in and out for the last 9 hours - and I feel a bit happier. Installed this little sucker - Little Snitch - comes well recommended - http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html - asks for permission before anything goes in and out. So nothing leaves my laptop at the moment unless I give it permission! Thanks - everyone (and lets not get into a flame war about guns - personally i was only kidding). _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
