I was playing TF2 with nothing running in the background when all of a sudden I hear an acoustic guitar. Five seconds later my game minimizes and takes me to an add about some old lady telling me how learning to play guitar could be never easier than before !
But seriously, this happens once every week or so and it's pissing me off. I can't minimize and then come back without it crashing, and I don't think it's too good for my computer. I try doing scans in avast and nothing seems to be wrong. How do I rid my computer of this and is it a virus ?
-All help appreciated.
Get Malwarebytes anti malware and do a quick scan. If it asks for a reboot, do so. If that doesn't work, do a full scan and reboot if it asks.
Format your harddrive, recreate partitions, install your OS.
Best solution.

Not needed for small issues like this one.
But yeah, try MBAM or any other common advised AV/AS.

Re-installing your OS because of a small virus is like amputating your foot because you got a blister.
Run malwarebytes or spybot and see if you find anything. Also check if there are any weird processes running when it happens.
