    A totally new phenomenom! While I'm typing this Thread - MS is advertising W10 using local (NZ) radio station. It's very audible with a mix of male and female and even Asian presenters.
    Anyone else experiencing this??? :eek:
    I'm using my W8.1 comp while this is going on so I'm wondering if this has been done using an MS Update? This is only when I open my browser. Neil.

    I've run ADW Cleaner and Malwarebytes and it's not doing it now. ADW took out Kingsoft which I haven't recognized yet.
    Did you miss your link lj50?
    I haven't had KB3035583 install on my comp and as this comp is a new one (last year) and runs W10 on a separate HDD, I don't think I need worry about that problem. Thanks Neil.

    I'll have to follow your Post lj50 as the audio advert is still there. Neil.

    Fixed it!!
    I had Tabbed W10 Preview Insider in case I needed to refer to it at any time. Sneaky MS guys have obviously set it to give you an Audio reminder 3 months before the Release date.
    I ran Kaspersky TDSSKiller which found nothing. So I uninstalled Mozilla FF and Restarted the comp. I then Downloaded a fresh copy of FF and it still played the Audio. :confused:
    I then racked my brain to remember what I had done recently which could have caused this problem - nothing had changed, so I then thought that I could reduce the Tabbed web sites if I wasn't/hadn't used it for a while.
    Unpinning each Tab and shutting FF and reopening FF ---- everything went quiet after unpinning W10 Insider.
    Something worth taking note of as I didn't think a Tab could start talking to you months down the track. :eek:
    I've been the victim of a "gotcha ". Well done MS. :D Neil.
