computer plays random music nonstop


Question Posted Wednesday July 11 2007, 2:45 pm

My computer plays horrible and random music 24/7 when I turn on the computer. I've tried to run a virus scan(verizon) everyday and it never seems to solve the problem. The weird thing is that the music continues to play when there are no programs running. it seems like I've tried everything and I don't know what to do.

hit ctrl+alt+delete to open the task manager. then click on the tab "processes."

look through the image names. terminate some of the processes that look suspicious. keep terminating processes until the music stop playing. don't terminate processes under "system. and never terminate "explorer."

your computer will crash a couple of times doing this, but you should eventually find which process is messing up your computer.

Well first of all, I would try downloading a better virus program. Most that I would reccomend are not free, but I think McAfee (think that's what it's called) has a free download which I would reccomend.

Second of all, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE (only if you are using Windows XP or lower) and check and see if it shows any unwanted programs running. If so you can close them from there.

If none of these work, find you computer manual and call the support number, they will be more than happy to help you!

Oh, have you tried restarting? Always try that first ;]

If you want to do it completely by yourself, follow this guide I made for targeting an application-based problem:
