1283081 2012-06-20 20:12:00 So I have a HP Pavillion g series, as far as I know I haven't downloaded anything harmful to my computer. The most recent thing I downloaded was from Windows Live Essentials, that I believe is reliable. The situtation I have is that even when I have nothing open, not even email or my documents, my computer plays advertisements over the speakers. I don't know what to do to fix this problem, so any suggestions I would be thankful for. Jardinef (16818)
1283082 2012-06-20 20:59:00 Download update and run Malwarebytes and Spybot. Both free. You have something nasty which needs to be sorted out. CliveM (6007)
1283083 2012-06-20 21:13:00 Download Hijackthis and post the log too. pctek (84)

1283087 2012-06-26 23:08:00 I've had this problem since yesterday also, can't find the original thread if anyone can link it.

I have tried;
MBAM
Super anti-spyware
R-Kill
TDS killer
MSSE
Spybot

And I thought it was gone but this morning it's back again. This time I've tried Combo Fix which seems to be a bit brutal but appears to have worked, I wait to see if it returns. I haven't been caught in a long time so this is really bugging me. I'm wondering if it's related to the Flash drive that's locked on write protect from my other thread, although that happened before any of this. Been my week for PC problems.

1283089 2012-06-27 03:02:00 Adblock plus add on. Assuming you're using firefox. Otherwise, another addblocker add on will do. Nick G (16709)
1283090 2012-06-27 05:17:00 Nick of it is playing in the background then it is not to do with firefox. Slankydudl (16687)
