1) Questions and Answers : Windows : VIRUS IN THE PROJECTS (Message 1257620) Posted 8 Jul 2012 by Earthmage Post: I've had this program running on my computer for a few months, so I'm not certain that the problem I've been having recently is related. However, since the SETI@home is running the entire time my laptop is on, I'm curious to know if anyone else has had the annoying issue where advertisement audio plays without any related windows being opened. It started maybe in the last few weeks. While going about my business online, something occasionally occurs in which I hear advertisements being played, but have no visuals. Sometimes, I get snippets of songs in the rap, hip-hop, and Mexican genres (none of which are music that I want to hear while I'm surfing the web). It continues after I've completely closed out of any open windows, so I suspect that it may be linked to anything running in the background. I'm no techie here, so I have no idea where to look or even if it's possible that it can somehow be related to the continually running SETI@home program. If this sounds even remotely familiar to you, or if you have any suggestions for how I might begin figuring out what's going on in order to cease it for good, I would greatly appreciate it.

2) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Just signed up ...no work? (Message 1210778) Posted 27 Mar 2012 by Earthmage Post: Just signed up, as well, and am glad to have run across this, since it's Tuesday and I'm showing a continuing state of "downloading" in my Task manager. I'll just wait till things clear up.
