I'm getting some very wierd problems ever since this morning. First of all, my computer's somehow playing random music for extremely long amount of time, even when no programs are up and online. My second problem is that my computer is alerting me that I'm sending a worm-infected email, even when I haven't sent a single email for over 2 months. If anyone could help, PLEASE reply. |

*Moving to technology...* It sounds like some sort of serious virus. If you have virus software (and I would really hope that you do), try scanning for a virus. If it detects something, try and get rid of it, and if it can't, you should get help from someone who deals with that kind of thing. |

Thats the only thing I can think of. Computers don't normally play music and alert you about sending bad emails by themselves... What kind of anivirus program do you have? |

Hrm...it DOES sound like a virus, however, the random music thing...it could be some other program saved on your comp which plays music and is just minimized to your taskbar. If it isn't that, then I'd say it's a virus... Maybe try AVG...? It seems to be the best virus scanner type program for me (and I've used heaps...most of them failing on me x.x; ) so yah...there's a free edition you can use too...but you don't have to. It's just a suggestion... Hope I'm some kind of help. <3 |

I have the same problem with the Music, Sometimes Media Player just plays without being open so that could be the case, when it plays open up your music player an click stop if its playing, maybe thats all... (I can use colour text too) |

Sounds like some sort of malicious program. Use ad-aware ASAP. |

I would suggest getting Norton anti virus or Avast anti virus. I have Avast right now, and that seems to be working perfectly for me. I have had Norton in the past, and it in my opinion sucks, but it's better than nothing. You can get avast for a free trial I believe, just google it. If you need the full version of it, send me a PM. If avast doesn't show anything wrong, then I really don't know. Virus or not, take it to someone who knows about computers, and they will be able to fix it. Thats all I can really say... Good luck! |

McAfee, that explains it, McAfee is HORRIBLE, it barely finds newer viruses and if it does, it barely ever had the ability to remove them. I would recommend running another antivirus program, or try a online-based solution such as TrendMicro HouseCall, located here: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ |

I agree, it is very bad, but it's one of the more popular anti-virus software there is. I don't know why it's so popular when it's so bad. lol |

Yea, though Norton can be good but its became major bloat ware that slows down your computer and the problem is, ALLOT of major viruses now DISABLE McAfee and Norton's detection capabilities (most of the time, the programs can't even launch) since their the two most popular, thus probity why Naruto got a ton of them. I would recommend a free solution such as AVG or Avast. There's also other alternatives out there that work very well, such as I use a program called NOD32 that works very well, and is lightweight. |
