My computer has started playing random sound clips for like advertisements and some music crap.

Out of nowhere, I hear a clicking noise, then the clips start. I don't have anything open that would have something like this, all the adverts on the webpage I'm on have no sound, or the sound has nothing to do with the advert.

Any advice? This is getting painfully annoying.
Thanks,
Roffle
 
I'm on this site, arniesairsoft, and strikeforce sports, none of which are torrent sites.
Ran a virus scan, six times, nothing comes up.
 
Already looked, no video ads, the ads on my page are usually tax help, weight loss, and the occasional insurance one.
 
Installed that, a clip about twilight just played.
Not very recent, and I've only been on Windows 7 for like 3 weeks.

Edit:
Can headsets pick up radio?
 
I wouldn't think that they could, they'd operate on a completely difference frequency, but I don't think they even use radiowaves.

Dang, that would have been a simple solution.
oh well...

Time to reinstall Windows 7, anyone?
 
The clicking noise could be from a nearby AT&T phone. They make speakers go crazy.
 
Can you Ctrl-Alt-Del when the ad starts and see if there are any processes running that might be doing this?
 
right, did that, and I don't use AT&T, nor is my phone even on most of the time it happens
