My computer plays audio for no reason, what is the deal?

Question

Sometimes when my laptop is on and running, audio plays for no reason at all. Yesterday something that sounded like a Dave Navarro/Ron Jeremy podcast played for no reason even though no programs were running in the front. This has happened a few times and it always sounds like a podcast. Does it have something to do with being on a wireless network?

Answer 1

Unless you've scheduled it to play such things it shouldn't be doing that, whether you're on a wireless network or not.

If you haven't told the computer to do that then you've probably got some kind of malware infestation.
