Solved: Virus cleared but now have unwanted sound ads
Hi,

Couple of days ago I had a couple of viruses and malware on my laptop (Win32 Banker and Trojan SpyAgent - i think two were called). I used Panda Antivirus and Spybot Search + Destroy and "disinfected" the computer.

I went on last night and I had sound ads (making jello brains and earthquake procedures for children in california, etc) coming through the speakers but there was no applications running and no windows open.

Thinking it was a virus, I updated the Panda antivirus and ran that again and also did the same for spybot, the results showed the computer as clean. But I could still here the sound "ads" and then some pop ups appeared.

Anyone have any idea what is going and how I can get rid of them? Preferable for free!!!

Thanks DuttonD

Download HIJACKTHIS

Save the program in a folder on your desktop, execute and "Run a scan and save a logfile". ( DO NOT FIX ANYTHING )

When done, copy and paste the log in the "malware and hijackthis-log forum", and an expert on the field will "diagnose" your computer and help you get rid of anything nasty.

Good luck!
