    Every now and then, possibly associated with Zone Alarm updates (I'd just restarted after installing one) when I'm typing an email or forum post (It's not happening in this one yet) 'pseudo sentences' appear. What I mean is that they make no sense, yet are gramatically correct. Adaware comes up with nothing, and I'm currently running a spyware scan, with an antivirus scan after that.

    Does anyone know what's happening?

    Im sure its not the case but recently had a customer call me with the same problem, after getting the machine I traced it down to her lazy ass son using the voice dictation feature on MS Office and not turning it off when he was done. Easy fix but it took awhile to figure out.

    I don't have speech to text installed (apart from UT 2004) and my mic was muted most of the time.
