Random Music Playing Virus Image

The Random Music Playing Virus is a common name given to a variety of PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) and threats that cause annoying sounds and music to play on the affected computer. The Random Music Playing Virus will often activate because an advertisement is handling the background. It should be noted that, technically, the Random Music Playing Virus is not unsafe code. The Random Music Playing Virus may not actually be inserted into a file but is, rather, a symptom of a variety of other types of problems on affected computer systems. PC security researchers typically do not consider that the Random Music Playing Virus is a real virus, in the technical definition of the term. Although a real computer threat is an infection that corrupts executable files and spreads on its own, the term 'virus' has come to mean any type of threatening software. In this case, the Random Music Playing Virus may refer to numerous types of problematic software that have in common the capacity to cause the affected computer to play music or make random sounds.

i have avast i did a virus check twice and no results i also updated some programs and didnt help

my nightmare continues

i had in a few minutes ago, and then i deleted an app i had called voice mod. when i read this thing about some advertisement app being playing on background, i realized that voice mod is the problem. when I closed voicemod after usage it said "Voicemod running on background".

This post really helped me a lot! Thank you! It wrecked my brain trying to figure out why this was occurring. Hearing the "Happy Birthday" song over and over and my nine year old son singing along.

I keep hearing the beginning of kinderfeld by Marilyn Manson. like at random it'll start playing the song. it'll play only like the first few seconds of the song. I also keep hearing like a second long sound that sounds like it's from another Marilyn Manson song but I can't identify it. for context I'm a really big Marilyn Manson fan, and I went on YouTube to set a reminder for the premiere of his most recent video, and this started happening right after I did that. it's really weird.

I have the same problem, i open task manager and there is like 20 instances of Skype open at the same time, i close all of them and the music stops. i uninstalled Skype a few days before so idk what to do anymore.

mine is among us music and i got the app about a month ago but deleted it but this music has just started now did you figure out how to make it stop, if so can you let me know its so annoying thanks

I thought I had this then I realized I accidently misciked and changed my wallpaper to one that plays music

Hi mine is a piano playing I have did scans on my pc and still it plays
Task manager shows nothing either can anyone help me please

bro its playing weird carnival music

It scares me. It's weird, like it, comes at different times, and then when I turn my audio off or close my Chromebook, it stops. It's freaking me out though.

same problem with me ... please tell if you were able to get rid of this

it's weird because the music starts as soon as my pc loads up

my computer keeps playing a music box version of twinkle twinkle little star and it’s genuinely the scariest shit ever, I’ve done literally everything google recommends and even shut off my speaker entirely and it still plays it. The worst part is it blasts it on full volume through the speaker, even if my volume is low.
