I have AdAware, SpyBot, SpywareBlaster, and run ZoneAlarm with pop-up
block and an antivirus program after having to disinfect another
computer... I think it was a "my doom" wreaking havoc... UGLY things
those worms!

Strangest thing, a couple of days ago, I heard the computer saying what
I think was, "Zathura" 3 times in a row out of the blue. It would
repeat this off and on when my browser (firefox with "no script"
extension) was open, so I ran all the above programs, cleaned out the
cache, and haven't had any recurrences of the deep, disembodied male
voice since.

I see that Zathura is a game or something, and maybe a movie? Well, I
didn't browse anywhere like that, nor did I see any adverts of that
name.

Anyone else heard of this or was it just some weird glitch?
