Here is the deal, I've been trying to find some forum with this problem and a solution for it. No luck so thought I'd post here and see if I can get some help or a answer to this problem. I run Firefox on my PC first off. So on with the problem. I'll be playing a GAME or poker or just browsing on firefox and all of a sudden I start hearing commercial adds, kinda like a radio station coming threw my PC speakers. I close all programs when this first did it. The noise / sounds were still coming threw. So I opened my Task Manager, to my surprise Internet EXPLORER was running between 20 and 60% of my processing power. So I ended the task, and like MAGIC the sounds stopped. Now I don't mind shutting down IE via task manager when this happens but its rather annoying if I want to open ANOTHER program due to the fact I can no longer see my desktop. So anyone have this problem or know a solution for it Please I beg for a answer. thanks.Sounds like a spyware infection to me.
You should download HijackThis. Run the program, "Do a system scan and save a logfile" and then post the log file in the COMPUTER Viruses and Spyware section of the forum. (Along with the explanation of the problem.) If the log file is too big for a single post then split it into several posts.
