| Vista Home Premium | Mysterious music doesn't go away Have I got a trojan? My laptop is taken over by some weird software and keeps playing this music (innocuous dance music,which is not from my HD thats for sure). I dont know where it came from. My CD tray is empty. AVG search founds nothing wrong. What is this? I can turn the volume down.. but nohting else. Does anyone have any suggestion what is happening here? |

| Vista Ultimate x64, SP2 | Re: Mysterious music doesn't go away Hello tomoedinburgh, Try taking a look in Task Manager, (ctrl+alt+del), see what is running there, you may be able to spot the rouge music player in services or processes. A haunted laptop would be a first though, woooooooooowooooooooo ![]() Take a look and post your results, good luck. |

| Vista Home Premium | Re: Mysterious music doesn't go away ah, this is embarassing. I CAN"T open the task manager. I used to be able to. Now nothing comes out when I press these keys. Whats happening to my laptop? Is this virus? Is there anyway i can get to task manager other than pressing the keys? ![]() |

| Vista Home Premium | Re: Mysterious music doesn't go away Yes, Stoney and Ziazag, thank you, I did install new adds on for FireFox, coz I was prompted to do so! So... what shall I do? Shall I uninstall what? entire FF? but I liked FF until now. There must be millions of FF users out there who are going nuts shouting "whats going on?!" or is it only me in the whole world? |
