on wifi connection, hearing AD voices in background
Visiting at someone else's home that has F.I.O.S. wifi. Have used this connection several times in past year using same laptops with no problems. Both laptops have about the same configuration and are just a little over a year old. Running both laptops here next to each other same as we always have in the past, but just one is having the problem mentioned below (other one works fine).
When Sony Vaio laptop (Win7 Ultimate 64-bit) boots up, within a minute or two, voices like from a radio or TV ads start up, sometimes you hear multiple stations at same time. Even when I play a movie, I will hear the voices right along with the movie voice.
Anyone ever experienced this? I have been searching my system for hours but found nothing. I downloaded hijackthis and ran it to remove some browser helpers like SweetIm and sweetpacks. It's as if internet radio or tv is playing on the laptop but I find that no place on my system. I have just been muting my sound as this is very annoying.
