    Hello guys!
    Well, let me start.
    At first my computer started showing pop ups from ali express even with pop up blocker after awhile radio advertisements started appearing. After getting fed up I decided to format my hard drives and do a clean install of windows 8.1 and right after that installed windows 10.
    The problem is that my computer still have problems with sounds appearing randomly. As of now sometimes it is just the beginning of the advertisements, really short compared to before I formatting my PC. Still it is still there, and it annoys me because no antivirus or program has shown anything so far. I am in desperate need of help!

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

    Please follow the instructions in the below link:

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • **** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual update Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only RogueKiller and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run the rest of the READ & RUN ME FIRST instructions on the infected account.
    4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.

    Hello! Could you please close this thread? I believe I found the culprit. It seems that I am having problems with Private Internet Access (VPN), because whenever the vpn is on the sounds appear. I am trying to solve it with VPN provider customer service. Sorry for making you waste your time.
