Thank you.

In this age and day you shouldn't really have to get a virus right?

Seems like i had problems but now my broswer is acting like crap and no sound yet again.


.....

Should uninstall adobe and reinstall or something. I think it's the main culprit.

[Ren12]

And the sound is back on.

You're right doesn't seem like it's malware.

But it's very very random and sporadic.

If you only use adobe as a pdf reader then uninstall and replace with Foxit Reader http://www.filehippo...download_foxit/

When you install Foxit untick the toolbar offering

[Ren12]

Apprently it's not just for pdf reader. Because when it crashed it said adobe not working on the youtube videos.

Also, I think it could be my skype not sure. But it randomly messes up my sound and I have to reboot it to get back on which is very weird.

OK that is the flash player
Download and install the latest version from here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

[Ren12]

Your Google Chrome browser already includes Adobe® Flash® Player built-in. Google Chrome will automatically update when new versions of Flash Player are available.

This is what you linked me said.

[Essexboy]

OK I will give you the direct link for the IE version

http://www.filehippo...flashplayer_ie/

[Ren12]

Okay seems like the sound problem is fixed.

My only concern is that when I occasionally click a link like say for example I google "physics". Wikipedia link pops up. When I click on it it occasionally redirects me somewhere else that has nothing to do with wikipedia.

I remember this is how I one of my previous viruses. But google chrome asks me permission to run this redirected site in which I obviously click no and it prevents me from ever getting a virus that way again.

Don't you think thats kinda weird?

[Essexboy]

Is this only in Chrome and is it sporadic or fairly consistent ?

[Ren12]

It's chrome and firefox. It's not really rare. It's pretty consistent.

But the good thing is that chrome has a scrypt written so it doesn't allow anything without permission. So I can avoid viruses.
