    OK this is driving me nuts!!

    You know the punch a celeb internet advert that comes up on certain pages? Its someone hitting Christian Bale and it doesnt stop making a loud thump sound every second until you actually click on the add so I usually just click on it and close it to make the sound go away but...

    Well basically the sound is still playing on my computer every second even when I have no webpages open?!? Anyone know whats up?

    Hi,

    Yes that one is doing the rounds at the moment.
    Download Malwarebytes and run a scan. That should get rid of it.

    If it doesn't head over to the Malware removal board.

    Sounds like a file that the Malware created.
    Are you still getting that error now after running the scan?

    If Malwarebytes doesn't remove the problem you may want to try unhackme:
    http://www.greatis.com/unhackme/download.htm
    Use the beginners guide which is on the left of the download page and follow those directions.

    Go through all the scans and if you are NOT sure of a certain threat you can google it or post it back here and we'll help you outy.

    I would suggest running it until there are no more infections.
    Good Luck
