Aero got disabled and started hearing dial-up noises
Just a general question/slight panic. I would say I'm a slightly above average computer user, knowledge wise, but when weird things that never happend before occur I'm out of my depth.
So I was just watching some videos on youtube, as you do, when the apperance of my desktop changed. Seems like Aero stopped working and dial-up like noises rang in my ears. I immedietly started a virus scan and disabled my internet connection. After about 5 seconds with the internet turned off the noises stopped and after about 10 the apperance changed back to normal. The virus scan didn't find anything. Haven't downloaded or browsed anything out of the ordinary the last couple days.
After a few minutes of searching the web for answers on my phone I turned my connection back on and checked my ip and such in cmd. I also released and requested a new one. Not sure if any of that would help but I figured why not give it a try.
Anyway, my question is basicly: What could have caused this and should I be concerned?
Thanks for any help provided.
