So I just jumped and knocked my coffee over cause I thought someone had come up behind me and I'm home alone. It was a smiley face at the top of the page shouting "Oh My God. " Scared the he** out of me. I have now muted my computer. Anyone else seen/heard this?

Yeah! I hate those! I keep my computer on mute always. I only turn on the sound when I put iTunes on.

LOLOLOL Good I'm SO glad this happened to someone else. I spent about an hour one day looking for, and getting quite angry at the person that kept telling my HELLO every time I sat down. LOLOLOL

I am so glad somebody else brought this up. I was here late one night totally engrossed in reading on the net and this smiley says "Helloo"

I practically jumped off the chair, the dog started barking which in turn woke my 4yr old

I hate them with a passion!

Ban the talking smiley!

Me too. My work computer is always on mute, but not at home. My cursor ran over that ad one day and the smiley said, "Helloooooo, I see youuuuuuu." I nearly jumped out of my skin and dh was standing in the kitchen saying, "What in the world????"

I had that happen, too! I was surfing the net while nursing my baby, trying to get him to go to sleep. I didn't realize that my dh had turned on the sound. It scared both of us, had a hard time calming him down. Hate it! (My daughters, on the other hand, love it. they always ask me to make it say hello)

That "hellooooo" smiley has got me so many times! It's so embarrassing when it's work.
