    [Inactive] Random Audio Ads: "CONRATULATIONS... "

    For the last three days, something has gotten into my IBM T60 laptop. It is the audio of one of those annoying pop-up ads:

    "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE WON... "

    There is no video, I don't even have to have my browser (mozilla) open. I do run wireless, and I often see the wireless icon active at random times when I'm not doing anything.

    AVG
    SpyBot S&D
    Malwarebytes
    I've run these, and none of them can find anything.

    This is unlike anything I've ever seen before, and I have always been pretty good at cleaning vurus/trojan problems from people's computers. Anyone with a thought will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,
    Bob
