Hi,
My sons laptop keeps randomly displaying adverts and music even when the laptop is on but not being used, I am puzzled why this is happening, the advert display Bing in the right hand corner and to stop it playing I have pressed the escape key, it is so annoying if anyone can help I would be grateful.
thanks

If you haven't already, run a quick scan with the free version of malwarebytes, to see if you've picked up a bit of adware.0
