I’m surfing the internet and all of a sudden music starts playing. I close down the internet browser so it’s not but the desktop and the sounds continue. What seems to be advertisements starts to play–just the audio. No one else is logged into to the computer. I’m starting to think it’s a form of spyware or malware because of these random popups I’ve been getting recently. Does anyone know what this is or how I can fix it?
Note: I’ve tried downloading MalwareBytes but it won’t let me install it. It freezes up during the installation process.
I’m 27 and ever since I was 12, music has been my purpose in life. It’s always been so easy to write music and I’ve always loved everything I wrote. Now I just pick up my guitar, pluck out a few ineffectual notes and get depressed about not even caring enough. I’ve really let my skills slip. I’m in my studio right now staring at my keyboard, guitars, amps, audio equipment and stuff and I just don’t care. I mean, I DO care, but not enough to even try. I keep reaching to my right and hitting a few keys and then I go back to surfing the net as the depression begins to well up.
What do you do when you no longer care to even write?
