Have you cleared your cookies and offline files from your browser?
Do you have MSN messenger? Its quite annoying sometimes, the advert its showing can get jammed on the screen and you get the audio as well from
that....

Nothing running in the back ground, the music plays on whatever site I'am on, so I have to turn the sound off which is making it impossible to
listen to my music, all cookies cleared.

I've had something similar. Music playing whatever I was running and yet I couldn't find anything that could be producing it - then I
switched users and found that the kids account still had a game running and it was the music from that

it does sound like you've picked up something you shouldn't have....
do you have problems getting on any other websites ?
which anit-virus are you running now?
how do you connect to the internet ? (is it just a BT line with a router? )
to cover the bassics - when its happening try this:
Ctrl + Shift + Esc - you should get a new window
go to the 'processes' tab at the top
stretch the window so you can see all the items in the list
do a screen shot of whats in there (i.e. shift + PrtScn)
open paint or any other picture editing package and paste it in (i.e. Ctrl + V ) - you can trim it down to just the bit with that window in it
save this image and then post it on here and we'll have a look.....
you need to do all this when the problem is actually happening and it doesn't matter if you've got anying else running as well

Hi, we are with Sky just found out our Anti Virus is out of date! Sky will not help unless we go with Mcafee and use Internet Explorer.
