Hey guys, I will keep this short & sweet. Basically I think I have got this strange virus which is driving me crazy. I havent actually detected the virus because im useless. Ok so the problem is, every now & then a sort of radio advertisment will come on (even when im not online) talking all sorts of rubbish, I cant find the source where this is coming from so the only way I can get rid of it is to switch my computer off & back on again. Any ideas what this could be? Any help would be much appreciated coz thus far I have used spybot search & destroy & adaware?
