When all of the sudden a song starts playing on your computer and nothing is playing, and then you close your browser and it's still going? Because that just happened to me, and I'm a bit worried.

BWOG · 2010-04-21 18:34:33

I'm worried to turn the speakers on neutral

Survivorduck · 2010-04-21 18:40:56

kind of... This is what happened:

2 yrs ago @ school, we were in science class when my teacher went to see the principal for something. A kid got up from his chair, went to the teachers laptop, went on albinoblacksheep and put on some screaming foxes in tuxedos vid. he turned up the volume and turned on the projector. Then he went back to his seat.
The teacher came in and saw it, so she asked who did it and clicked the X button in the corner. It wouldnt respond!! it was funny.

There was a state-wide virus at my school today.

But what I heard was something that I didn't play...

It was some song I've never heard before.

If you are on Windows, look at "processes" in the task manager, and look for something strange. neutral

BWOG · 2010-04-21 18:58:28

I went through all the processes and all the ones I don't remember there I looked up and they all look safe... I have restarted my computer so maybe it's gone now. I haven't turned the speaker up eathier so...

explorer.exe is a spyware application and should always be terminated.

"This is the user shell, which we see as the familiar taskbar, desktop, and other user interface features.

Note: The explorer.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows. In other cases, explorer.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm!"

What's so funny?

It's a harmless joke.

(RHY meant the actual explorer.)

If you terminate explorer.exe, it's easy to get it back.

cough cough

What it's saying is two things

-If it's the usual explorer.exe, than it's located in C:\Windows
-It's not always a good program - sometimes it's a virus, spyware, trojan, or worm, just disguised as explorer.exe

Ohhhh, I get it now. I thought it meant that since it's there, it's a virus.
