| 727150 | 2008-12-09 14:51:00 | Hello, I constantly see on the little sound icon the setting switch from mute to non-mute all by itself. When I go to the control panel and unclick Mute, a few sec later it changes between setting again. What's going on? this can't be a virus or trojan right? I look after my pc so well, I thought :horrified I have XP Pro. |

| 727154 | 2008-12-10 05:38:00 | @Foxy, cheers, I'll give it a go. @Wterrus, I have a desktop @wil1, I think it's a multimedia keyboard, dunno for sure, just a standard Logitech kb. What do you mean with resting on the mute button? |

| 727155 | 2008-12-10 06:08:00 | Some keyboards such as multimedia ones have media control buttons on them such as volume, mute, play, next track etc | gary67 (56) | ||
| 727156 | 2008-12-10 06:13:00 | Oh right, no, that's not the case I think. @Foxy, I'm running ClaminWin Anti-Virus, and my trial copy of TrojanRemover has expired, is there another free program that I can use? |
