    Have you tried moving the speakers and other wires around, in case it is a nearby 'pirate radio' causing induction interference? Are there any presenters' voices (e.g. DJs)? If you have a radio, have you tried sweeping the VHF/FM band to see if you get the same music at any particular frequency?

    Not everything is caused by a virus!

    this seems odd

    C:\Documents and Settings\fiona mulligan\My Documents\program setup files\Matcher.exe

    http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/matcher.shtml

    I've also noticed that you are running Hijack this from Temp folder

    C:\DOCUME~1\FIONAM~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hijackthis[1].zip\HijackThis.exe

    it needs to be in its own directory if we are to make changesas the program does back-ups

    i would read this

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=133269

    and follow the first bit about going into safe mode

    then follow steps 1 to 3 at this point after doing the downloads.

    1) Run Ccleaner with the default options to clean out temporary files. Only use the Default Scan on the Windows Tab and select Run Cleaner

    2) Run Ewido:
    • Click on scanner
    • Click Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
    • During the scan it will prompt you to clean files, click OK
    • When the scan is finished, look at the bottom of the screen and click the Save report button.
    • Save the report to your desktop
    3) Run Spybot Search & Destroy and allow it to fix all that it finds


    out of interest can you post the Ewido report when you come back

    you also seem to be running

    McAfee Internet Security suite

    C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee.com\PERSON~1\MpfAgent.exe

    and AVG

    C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVGFRE~1\avgcc.exe

    it is best not to run 2 antivirus at the same time.Has the Mcafee trial ended ??

    it's not the matcher file that is a simple calculator i've been using for working out matched betting

    i will try the ccleaner and ewido and spybot and report back to you

    many thanks for helping me
