Hello, recently I found my computer started playing sounds over my speakers without anything running (that I had started at least) they were advertisements. I check the task manager and the sound mixer, and internet explorer had 2 running processes and I didnt have it open, it was also emitting the sound (when I muted it on the sound mixer, it muted the ads). These processes tend to be split, one has a low usage, the other runs about 300-400K.

Also when checking the task manager I noticed a thing called FABS.exe which the description for it was in german (or some other language I dont know) and my start/search bar wont find a fabs.exe anywhere.

Otl logs attached.
