lol, well i think my computer is pesest. i keep hearing it run random commercials whenever my volume is on and there is nothing running that i can see. so every few seconds something will sound off whether its a lame commercial or a shitty song. i have no idea wtf is going on.☹ spybot is runnin now but i dont think its going to help me out here. is there any free downloads out there that will help me rid this demon? ---

This is NOT a software issue and the same thing happened to me. It has to do with physics, and for the life of me I can’t remember what the concept it’s called; Simply put your computer and speakers are acting as an antennae that is picking up radio waves. And that’s what you’re hearing. Some of these waves can travel very far and are influenced by a number of things that can amplify them. The idea is that the is only so much “space” for so many different frequencies out there. Think of rain drops in a pond; some drops get canceled out by those next to them, while some drops compliment each other and increase how far they travel. My computer would randomly pick up an FM channel from ALBANY and play it over my speakers faintly… in the middle of the night, lol. I solved the problem by not sleeping with my speaker power on. It was definitely creepy at first. Obviously the problem then lies in the hardware where something isn’t shielded good enough, but I don’t care that much. Turning the speakers off at the end of the night is easy enough. ---
