hi sorry to bother you guys again but i posted a thread last week and still no reply - i'm guessing its because i may have put it in the wrong forum or something or maybe that i done a hijackthis log without asking, nevertheless i am still seeking a resolution because this problem has started to bother me quite alot and is making me very anxious about what is on my computer. basically when i do not use the computer or mouse for a while such as leaving it to go to the bathroom or even leaving the keyboard and mouse to watch a video on youtube or something. whenever i do leave it there are voices such as news updates or advertisements such as one i received 5 minutes ago about a beer. please help me or at least guide me in the right direction to get rid of whatever this is.
thank you
ehab

I think you should consider an exorcism and perhaps a scan for malware.

Hi,
The security analysts are very busy and it does sometimes take a while to get to everybody.

Do you have a side bar news reader running?
