weirdest ad/spy/malware ever

Post by chrisx03 »

There is random music coming out of my friend's dads laptop. And i am over emphasizing when i say random. I get these funny commercials about STD's and some about resizing penises. Furthermore, in IE latest version i get the Google redirecting bug. i know how to get rid of this, but does AnYoNe know what the music is? is it being used as some sort of internet server to host the audio ad for internet radio feed? hahaha oh man that some Tripy ass crap.. help will be highly appreciated....pffffttt lol!

---and oh yeah the taskbar was missing but i got that to work now..
