Just recently I have a voice that makes a loud announcement when I am on the Internet (Explorer 😎 and I cannot find where I can turn this off. It tells me to go to Tools- internet Options and Security, I don't know where it came from and how to get rid of it.

Have you tried starting IE 8 without any add-ons? Microsoft provides a start-up for IE 8 without add-ons, on Windows 7 it is in:
Start ==> All Programs ==> Accessories ==> System Tools ==> Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)
If this eliminates the problem then I suggest you go into IE 8 and try disabling various add-ons until you find the one causing the problem:
Tools ==> Manage Add-ons

Is this happening regardless of what page you are on, or if Internet Explorer is closed? I would suggest running MalwareBytes on the machine and also clear your Internet Cache.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/ is the place to get MalwareBytes. You only need the Free version. Perform a full scan.
The Internet Cache can be cleared by going to Control Panel, selecting Network and Internet, and then choosing Internet Options. From this point, go to Delete... and make sure the only box checked is "Temporary Internet Files" and then choose Delete.

Sounds something like the Accesibility option Narrator. But why it would be on for Internet explorer only is a question. Double check your accessibility options(ease of access) in the Windows Control Panel.

This suggests the thing generating the loud message is contained within a Flash movie, not that Flash itself is causing it.

Try setting your homepage to a blank page. Click the Tools button, select Internet Options in the menu that appears, and click "Use Blank" to set your homepage to a blank page. Close Internet Explorer and restart it.
If the voice comes back, or the homepage is not a blank, white page, then you may have malware on your machine.

Perhaps when I ran IE without add-ons that disabled the Shockwave? IN any case, I am glad that I was not the only one with the problem. I was driving me batty too.
