Random Music Playing

Whenever my internet connects, this random music starts playing. It sounds like it is a radio station, or a talk show, or a commercial or something. When I disconnect my internet, it stops. Any ideas what it might be?

I did two hijack this scan logs, one while the music was playing, and one while it wasn't.

This is without the music:

if you open up the volume mixer, it should show you what programs are producing sound with a green bar

LOL what a pro virus. Is it music from Neverwinter Nights, by any chance? That program seems to be running while the music is going.

No, it isn't from nwn, nwn just happened to be running when the music started, after my internet died and came back to life. I didn't wanna waste time closing nwn while opening hijack this.

Random Music Playing: FOUND SOLUTION

Alright, I discovered that it was, in fact, a virus.
It was stdrt.exe masking itself as "Windows Media Center" in the task manager processes. It was taking up roughly 400,000k of memory. I removed it by installing Kaspersky anti-virus. Kaspersky found it, called it regsrv.exe and removed it. I haven't heard the random music since.

I'm posting this because if anyone else has the same problem in the future, they should know how to fix it.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
