IronMike Posted August 25, 2014 #1 Posted August 25, 2014 Out of nowhere at random times while on this forum I get a sound of like a Ghostly soundtrack. whooo whoooo whoooo and then sounds like laughter maybe and it plays over and over and over until I click off the tab. So I run a gammit of anti Virus and Spybot and all that and there it is again. What is it! I am like pretty sick of it. I use other forums and tabs it only does it here. Using Chrome so the tab at the top shows the little speaker where the sound is coming from what tab. Is it like a persistent ad or what? Can't see anything just hear it. Very annoying!

Prairiehammer Posted August 25, 2014 #3 Posted August 25, 2014 A few years ago there was fairly common virus/malware going around, sometimes called "Ghost Audio Virus". Some maintained it was related to 'iexplore.exe'. Try Googling 'Ghost Audio' and 'iexplore.exe'.
etcswjoe Posted August 25, 2014 #4 Posted August 25, 2014 I don't get it at work or at home so I am no help.

KIC Posted August 26, 2014 #6 Posted August 26, 2014 Probably just a couple of 1st Gens trying to get you to come to your senses and get a 1st Gen. They are not just faster, they can subconsciously talk to you...just sayin'..
rickardracing Posted August 26, 2014 #7 Posted August 26, 2014 Ghost in the machine. You must take a 5 lb sledge hammer and tap your keyboard 6 times. Not a 3lb hammer or a 10 lb hammer. It has to be a 5 lb hammer. tap the keyboard once on the enter key, once on the left shift key and 4 times on the space bar key. It is the only way to make this go away!!! Once you do this the sound will disappear!!
Freebird Posted August 26, 2014 #8 Posted August 26, 2014 There are no sounds embedded in this site. If you are hearing something, then it is some type of trojan, virus or something.
