Hi,
Some weird happenings on my pc. Had nothing running on the pc except AVG 8.5 which was doing a virus check and was 2 hours into it. Just happened to have the speakers on when piano music started playing. Recognised it but couldn't tell you what it's called. Along with the music, I could hear what sounded like Hitler doing one of his speaches and also I could hear what sounded like something from a horror film!! Anyone any idea?? Weird! |

I bet smiffie's answer was useful...... Sorry, i don't know much about computers, but it sounds like a virus to me. And just to find some common ground, I'm kinda wondering about avg 8.5 because ever since i installed it some crazy stuff has been happening to my computer. I had the old version and it seemed to work fine, but since I installed 8.5, i don't know what's going on.... i have malware doctor (virus) that is very annoying... task manager won't work and system restore wont work. It's probably a coincidence, but very unusual. |

Don't know about Hitler or the Horror film stuff but...
During normal operation or in Safe mode, your computer may play "Fur Elise" or "It's a Small, Small World" seemingly at random. This is an indication sent to the PC speaker from the computer's BIOS that the CPU fan is failing or has failed, or that the power supply voltages have drifted out of tolerance. This is a design feature of a detection circuit and system BIOSes developed by Award/Unicore from 1997 on. Although these symptoms may appear to be virus-like, they are the result of an electronic hardware monitoring component of the motherboard and BIOS. You may want to have your computer checked or serviced. S. "Smiffie72" <Smiffie72> wrote in message news:b488 [..] |

After you mentioned this I tried to do a system restore and mine doesn't work
either. Did you find out how to get it running again? "Crystal" wrote: [..] |

I've never heard of the 'Für Elise' thing but, the symptoms could well have
a simple origin. If you were browsing the internet some time before this happened, a .js (java) script could have executed that belonged to a web page that you had touched on. No scripts are supposed to be executed when the webpage has been exited. However, stuff happens on a PC that's not exactly supposed to and also this sounds like the audio of some web page. So before you start panicking, consider; Were you using the internet any time before this happened and has the PC had any reoccurrence of this effect at all? If the answers are 'yes and no' or even 'no and no' I wouldn't be TOO concerned. If anything like this happens in the near future, then I would try and get to the bottom of it by running antivirus / anti-malware programs until you find the cause. == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "Smiffie72" <Smiffie72> wrote in message news:b488 [..] |

on 29/05/2009, Smiffie72 supposed :
> Anyone direct me to some good Anti Malware software or site? More on rename. Rename the downloaded mbam-setup.exe file to mb.exe to help work around certain malware that will block it from being run. http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/i...eaded&s tart= 1: Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features and uninstall Malwarebytes. Next redownload Malwarebytes but rename it before you download it to your desktop. As you are in the process of downloading when you get to the point that the "enter name of file to save to" box appears, in the "filename" slot, rename mbam-setup.exe to something.exe, then click Save. If it installed but will not run navigate to this folder: 2: C:\Programs Files\Malwarebytes' AntiMalware Rename all the .exe files in the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware folder and try to run it again. |

I was adviced to try this
http://www.techmixer.com/kaspersky-r...009-using-dos/ before Malwarebytes as was told that some Malware and Viruses are not being picked up by it. It found 32 items!!!! Pc seems to be working fine now. One thing that one of the 32 was affecting was the search bar in IE 7 and 8. After clicking on one of the search results, I was directed to a page that was nothing to do with the site I had searched for. The search bar is working properly now, so would definitly recommend the Kaspersky rescue disk. And it's a good website too for all sorts of handy programs. Cheers all for you advice.
