First Security Concern for Vista
Well it was just about the time for something like this too happen. Not that I did not expect it but really it seems that websites and blogs around the world are just making a big hype about nothing.
Namely, with the introduction of the new Vista's Speech recognition program (which I did not find all that impressive), people could host malicious sound files on their web sites which could intentionally trigger some commands on your computer. Microsoft did confirm the bug, and suggested:
- A user can turn off their computer speakers and/or microphone.
- If a user does run an audio file that attempts to execute commands on their system, they should close the Windows Media Player, turn off speech recognition and restart their computer.
Also, the best thing is, if you really do not have to use the Speech Recognition - just simply turn it off... It's not like wow. Not that it is too bad, but just for the sake of fun, watch the video below:
