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.

Can anyone help me? My PC found a virus called trojan.downloader, trojan.agent and trojan.vb, all of which it has quarantined and removed the virus, however my PC is still acting strange. I hear constant clicking going on when I’m not even on a webpage. It’s the same clicking you hear when you click on links on a site. When I do surf the net, audio files begin out of nowhere, sometimes incohearent like a scrambled metal song, to audio clips from movie quotes to advertisement it doesn’t usally last long, but happens very frequent. It’s driving me insane. I have run a virus scan everyday and it doesn’t find anything. I bought a new router which has a firewall built in, I’m using Windows defender. I am running Win XP BTW. Does anyone here have any suggestions, I’m going mad! I feel like it’s a hacker because some of the audio files that play, coincide with what I was searching on the net for. Removal tools would be a great help.
Keeping my fingers crossed!
