Can someone tell me why my laptop keeps picking up commercials or broadcasts of some sort. Sometimes while I'm on the computer, music or commercials will start playing for no reason. Sometimes they're from popups and when I close them it stops. But other times, I don't know where it's coming from. We do have a linksys router and my laptop is wireless. Is this a common problem when wireless?:confused3
 
Do you have a messenger installed like AOL Instant Messenger? AIM likes to play advertisements on their messenger.
 
Youve got a virus - you need to clean it off of there. Virus and/or Spyware.
 

OK. I just ran spybot & destroy. It found about 49 things. So I deleted them. I'll see if that helps. Will I have to do this everytime this happens?
