Form of Malware?

My friend downloaded a screensaver onto his computer that was accompanied by "Jingle Music". He did not realise this beforehand. When he uninstalled the screensaver the music stayed and it plays now every 15 minutes and stops. i.e. 11.00 11.15 11.30 12.00. Nothing appears on the screen and nothing is apparent in the taskbar. I have looked under Sounds and Audio devices in the Control Panel for him but cannot find anything. His system is Windows Vista. Where would this be playing from? Is this a form of malware?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
