Weird voice over speaker, virus?

HI

I keep getting a "Congratulations, you won" message over my speaks at random

It happens regardless of what I am visiting, and I can never see a banner which it may be coming from.

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance

    Your phantom is likely to be a Flash-based advertisement; this stops them from running automatically. Next time you visit a page with embedded Flash objects you'll see a puzzle piece appear at the end of the Omnibox and visible objects will be replaced by an expanse of grey, either of which you can click on to override the ...er... override.
