My computer keeps making noises and playing music and talking when I'm online. What in the heck is it???

Question

When I get online my computer will start playing music and people start talking. It's like a pop up, but there's no box of any kind or anyway that I can figure out where the sounds are coming from. What is it, and do you know how to fix it???

Answer 1

it sounds like some kind of virus or malware. try some virus of malware remove software. but i strongly recommend you to reinstall your windows system.

Answer 2

You have a virus, and a pretty nasty one at that. I don't know what it's called, but we had it recently. Follow these steps to get rid of it:

1. Get ZoneAlarm firewall. DON'T ALLOW ANYTHING UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. It will ask you to allow internet access for some programs but don't allow it unless you know EXACTLY what it is.

2. Get Avast! 4 Home edition antivirus. It is free and no matter what anyone else says, get it. After the virus can't access the internet anymore, things will begin to stop messing up. Once installed, schedule a boot-time scan. Then reboot your computer. I would recommend doing this at night while you sleep, because they can take a LONG time sometimes.

3. When you get back on, bring up windows task manager (Control+Alt+Delete). Choose the processes tab. Look for any processes that have random names. Google them. Example: hldrrr.exe I had that file on my computer and it was a virus. Google the entire name and get some info. If it is a virus or something, then select the process and press delete on the keyboard. Press enter. The go to C:\WINDOWS\System32 and find the file. Delete it.

4. Get Spybot Search & Destroy. TeaTimer (one of it's features) will help keep viruses from loading on startup.
