[Closed] Computer plays audio on it's own and a few other thi

Hello. Actually, there are a few strange things happening. Just today, I started to have this problem where my computer plays some sort of audio advertisment on its on. Nothing will be open. Nothing will be running. I won't have any sort of internet browser open. Nothing. My computer is fairly new. It's a Dell and it was bought about 4-5 months ago. Spyware and infections havn't been a problem either. I scanned my computer for ads and spyware and nothing's there. So there's something that it's not spotting. I know that it's not a radio broadcast being picked-up on my computer or any other program.

I was looking for a song for my mother and I wasn't able to find it online anywhere. So I thought, 'I guess I'll just download Limewire for a few minutes just to find this song. I found it but it turns out to be a fake and it's some sort of spyware. I downloaded it and then deleted it from my computer. Plus, I ran my adware and spyware detectors and eliminated all threats and deleted limewire.. But the sounds still come up randomly. Plus, windows is now all of a sudden a tad-bit less effeciently, or slower, I should say. AND a small random window (about 4x4 inches) appears for like 1/4 of a second in the top left of the computer screen and then disappears. And the annoying clicking loading sound WON'T stop. I don't know what any of this is. I've never had any problems with spyware until now. Help would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Actually, I suspect that it's a virus. I didn't even think about that at first. But it's still happening.

Hi thefrustrated,

When posting logs from Notepad, please make sure Format->Word Wrap is UN-checked - this will make your logs readable

Download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) to your Desktop (right-click the link, select Save Target As…, select your Desktop and press Save)

• Close all applications and windows.
• Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
• When the scan is complete, two text files will open - main.txt <- this one will be maximized and extra.txt<-this one will be minimized
• Make sure Format->Word Wrap is unchecked
• Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of main.txt and extra.txt in your reply

Once complete, please post both DSS logs, you won't need to produce a new HijackThis log as DSS produces one for you.
