Worm speaks to Windows users: “A worm that contains an embedded audio message has been bending the ears of Windows users

The Amus worm, which may be Turkish, uses the Windows Speech Engine, embedded on Windows XP, to play the following message:

‘How are you. I am back. My name is Mr. Hamsi. I am seeing you. Haaaaaaaa. You must come to Turkey. I am cleaning your computer. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0. Gule gule.’

‘Gule gule’ means ‘bye-bye’ in Turkish.”
