Adware/spyware help
Looks like I've got some spyware or adware on my computer. I'm usually pretty careful but I guess it's not always possible. At random times an audio commercial is played without any visible windows. I get commercials from a job website. I forgot which one it was, but it was the one about somebody sucking up for a job then they try it again with more dignity. I get another one for some childrens games like "Dora the explorer". Next time I'll try to grab the audio. I think I've had this for a long time. At first I thought it was just a bug in my TV card software because I've seen the same commercials on TV.
I haven't noticed anything that triggers the ads but when I'm running the TV software I can hear artifacts in the sound when no other applications are playing sound. This only happens when another program is using the sound card while the TV program is running. When I hear these artifacts a sound doesn't always play so I assume this is the same program.
I haven't found anything about this on google. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
