Audio playing in bkgd

[HEDZ]

Hello.

I downloaded and opened an *.exe file, which I believe my problems are arising from.

Randomly and frequently, I will hear an audio file playing in the background. Most times it is of a Duracell ad. When I look in task manager and processes, I see iexplore.exe is running, whether I have IE8 open or not. As soon as I end that process, the audio immediately stops playing.

Also, when I am surfing the net in IE8, when I click a URL (mainly in google) it will redirect me to other websites such as:
http://213.174.149.70/td?aid=91462&said=1001
http://7582.91462.blueseek.com/jump1/?af...&mr=1&rc=0
http://3038.94319.primosearch.com/jump1/...&mr=1&rc=0

As I've typed this help request, an audio file has played.

Thank-you very much,
-HEDZ

You should download HijackThis and post it here.

I believe you are infected with a virus.


Will you link me to the program you download to analyze it.

I would suggest to download and install http://www.f-secure.com/en_US/security/s...e-scanner/

That will allow F-secure to scan your computer and kill viruses, caution, it can take 2 hours or more.

Does the problem only happen in IE? Or does it do the same in FireFox or Safaria etc.

That means IE is sunning on a website, but it's set to hidden. I would scrap IE altogether and go with firefox.

You cannot uninstall IE; doing that will cause other programs to not function correctly if not at all.

I uninstalled IE with no problems at all. If you don't want to uninstal. I would re-install with eather an old version, or the newest. If you are using the newest. Downgrade one version.

Only in windows 7. But you can disable it >_>

Just run the scan, it should be done.

I didn't mean you can't uninstall it. I mean it's not wise if you do.
