My Laptop Says Random Things to Me!

olgadapolga

Hi,

I don't know if anone can help but I think that my computer has got a virus as it says random things to me in a robotic style voice (I know, this sounds completely bizarre).

For example, when I start it from sleep mode, it says things like "Look at my cool hair" (this sounds completely mad but it's true, I even got my DH to listen to it) and when I put it into sleep mode, it says "Go and get on with it then".

I have run several virus/spyware checkers but it's still there. I don't know enough about computers to be able to identify the rogue files and remove them.

I know how crazy this all sounds but it's getting annoying now! It's been like it for about 10 days. Any ideas anyone? Please?

Thanks!

Lucy

have you run malwarebytes? http://www.gt500.org/malwarebytes/mbam.jsp

install it, update it (should do automatically after installation) and run a scan using it. delete anything it finds.

Around 10 days... since April 1st?

Sounds like somebody may have changed your sounds - either give the OH a kick and get it set back, or go into Control Panel, Sounds and Audio devices and check out the Sounds tab.

My OH says random things to me. Do you think I should try and adjust her settings??

Hi, thanks for the replies. It's probably been a little longer than 10 days, and my first thought was that my OH had been messing about with the laptop but he denies it. Despite being kicked. Hard.

I have been through the sounds settings but can't find anything there. A priest won't help as I'm an atheist!

Am running the malwarebytes - it hasn't finished yet but has found some infected files.

Will update when it has finished.

OP, I hope you get this sorted but just wanted to thank you for making me smile....tears are running down my cheeks- sorry, not making fun, just cracked me up and I wanted to thank you!

I wouldn't mind my lappy talking to me, lol.

'Look at my cool hair' :rotfl:

Yeah! A Lappy with attitude. Love it.

See, now I told you all it sounded completely crazy, didn't I? Glad (no, really) that it has been amusing - I would have thought it hilarious too (in fact, I do think that ). You'll also be pleased to know that I'm only allowed out when properly supervised.

However, I am pleased to announce that it no longer talks to me. So either the malwarebytes worked or DH decided to remove something that he denies putting on there. Despite the well-aimed kicks

Thanks for the support!
