    Recently my computer has been playing music even though I don't have a media player open. Even weirder, it's not even my music. I unplugged my ethernet cable thinking that would make it stop but it didn't. I have run Norton and nothing showed up. I opened Task Manager and searched every single process but nothing seemed out of place. Please help, it's getting annoying! Here's my HijackThis log in case that helps.

    Some websites play music and you won't see any controls so you can't stop it playing. Close all internet pages one by one until the music stops (wait a bit after each page you close) or you run out of internet pages to close.

    If you think that it might be malware, you need to head for the Malware forum and follow the instructions in the stickies. When posting logs, attach them rather than putting them in the text - it makes working through the problem easier.

    Best of luck and welcome to MG!
