Windows Vista Speech Recognition has Vulnerabilities.

I was working on the internet with the Speech Recog service running
but in Sleep mode (not listening ) and someone could take over my
screen & attempt looking thru my files. This happened a few times
untill I figured there was no intrusion happening if the speech
recognition was completely off.

Is there a way to make it secure. or any preference or a setting that
could protect my system?

Thanks to Ray Kurzweil & Microsoft for this technology, now its
somebody else's turn to make it secure.

"I was working" and "someone could take over". So did this happen to you or
not? Or is this just a case of somebody giving the computer commands
verbally and that is the "exploit", the same exploit that the keyboard and
mouse suffers from?
