Music and comercials keep playing out my speakers, even when everything is closed. What is going on?

Question

My computer can be on while i am working or be on hibernate mode, or stand-by. But at random times throughout the day or night, it will just start playing music, commercials, or news broadcasts. I can't see anything on my computer, I can only hear it. It does stop if I disable my connection though. But as long as I am online, it plays.

You can also check these for the disabled XULRunner 1.9.1 extension (considered malware) in your system details list.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />
