    Ok, I got adware, I know this. I have some adware on my computer that whenever the time, it just starts playing this advertisement, only the sound however, and EVEN when I don't even have IE open or anything internet-wise. Think of a TV commercial, except on your computer with no video, no programs open up or anything, just plays the sound from an advertisement commercial. It didn't stop until I ended explorer.exe on my computer's task manager.

    Essentially, ending explorer.exe is like turning Windows off temporarily. In extreme cases (on screwed up PC's) the PC will go thru the shut down sequence when explorer.exe is ended with the task manager. If your task manger shows more than one explorer.exe, one may be malware. I strongly suggest you go here > http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 and follow the steps EXACTLY!!!

    No one will be able to tell you why this is happening without looking at the logs produced from the link that was given you.....as in, do the Read and Run First in the Malware section and then attach the logs. :)
