Every time I start my browser Pacman sounds play in the background. First the music then the woka,woka,woka,woka,woka then the sound when you die, then it starts over again. It's constant, even if I'm watching a You Tube video, it's playing in the background.

I know Google has the Pacman thing in their logo but, even if I use Yahoo it happens. Anyone else have this problem?

Do you have the Google Toolbar installed?  If so, try getting rid of it (Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs).

So after some searching others are having this problem also. It has to do with the brilliant logo on Google, fucking douches.

Weird, I just played the game for a bit at google...

then all I had to do was close that tab.



Must be an IE problem of some sort.



I didn't notice the game board logo because for my home page I use the personalized google.

One of our office programs loads an IE page to start and runs it in the background. Guess which one? I had 20 guys calling me this morning.

Damnit, I work in IT, today should be interesting. I'm sure our helpdesk will be routing us calls because of pacman sounds saying it's a "hardware failure"

I had to turn off the Cool Previews add on in Fire fox.

I have to say, playing that on a loop would definitely be a good way to get terrorists to talk.

I find that absolutely hilarious especially your "virus" description.



I've heard a lot of symptoms being described in creative terms but never have I heard "woka woka woka..."

Yeah, me too... "interesting" is one word for it.
We've got a number of public-facing web sites that rely on the Google Maps API.  Any time anybody clicks on one of the icons on the (OUR) site: woka-woka-woka.

Pretty funny in a way, but a seriously boneheaded mistake on Google's part.  I don't think I'd want to be a member of their testing/QA team today
