    A weird virus...Help!!!

    Hi there,

    I am currently using Windows 7 i3 laptop.
    There have been problems with the laptop and I can't seem to fix it. It started happening yesterday. What the problem is, is that the computer starts talking without having a browser opened. And sometimes it say different things, but the most that I have always been hearing is something about internet explorer. Once I heard that I tried to go to task manager, and end process on internet explorer whenever the voice came out but that didn't help.
    I ran Malware and Spybot Search & Destroy and it detected nothing. So i just want to know what causing this problem, and how can I fix it, because it's a real pain in the ass to have the computer start talking once every like 15 minutes.



    Thanks.

    Hello, first thing is to get Free version of this : Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO removes malware including viruses, spyware, worms and trojans, plus it protects your computer

    Update it. run it in normal mode. full scan.. and post back how that worked out please.

    Welcome
    Although a virus is the same for either Seven or Vista, I suggest that you register and post the question in our Seven forum. Although our malware experts are the same in both forums, its best to have the experts that are proficient in all aspects of Seven

    Hi,

    Just to add to this: -

    I had an internet redirect issue yesturday & when I shutdown to reboot I heard voices too (Electronic but still voices).

    Saying Aaaaahhhhh & something else I did'nt catch!

    I too did a full scan & nothing found!

    I have had no issues since, as I left the PC off over night before starting back up.

    P.S.

    A Vista operating system here.

    Well the voices are really random.
    Once I heard this man's voice talking about internet explorer and the background music was some scary sounds (like screeching noises in a scary movie).
    But most of the time, it this guy who talks about internet explorer, firefox and netflix? and about how popular it became and all that. It was really random.
    I tried going to task manager and ending processes of internet explorer, but the voice appears again after like 15-30 mins or so.

    Is this a virus or what?

    But after running through Malware, it says I have 5 files that were infected but when the scanning was almost done, the computer shuts down on me. It shut down on me like two times right when the scanning was about to be done.

    Now that's real annoying. Try scanning with Microsoft Security Essentials. It's the forum's favourite AV.
