"oh behave yeah baby yeah"

Macro · 25 Nov 2008 at 20:24

For some obscure reason over the last few days occasionaly I get Austin Power quote "oh behave yeah baby yeah" played on the PC.

It's usually when I'm not using it and I can't spot anything that should be triggering the sound. Malware checks with Defender and Spybot come up clean as do virus checks with Avast.

So short of nuking the install, or getting in a priest for an exorcism has anyone got any ideas what could be the source of the seemingly random sound? Googling doesn't seem to turn anything up obvious. So, is it a sound effect on something legit, or have I spent too much time with russian pron sites?

Any thoughts oh wise OCUK?

Help!

Could someone have messed with Windows sounds when you weren't looking?

Check under your desk.

I'm not sure I'd check your windows* sounds but that is rather amusing

* Assuming you're running Windows....

Vista x64..

It is actually quite amusing, I'm never in the room when it happens so I hear it but by the time I get there it's stopped. My only concern is that I've missed some kind of Trojan, although having said that i can't see anything odd in taskmanager or startup via Ccleaner/msconfig.

played all the Windows sounds manualy - nothing there....

2 virus checkers and 2 anti spyware programs come up clean so I'm loath to nuke the PC and reinstall from scratch, but what the BEEP is playing the file!

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

That's actually pretty awesome, don't look for it, keep it with its mystical coolness!

In terms of Windows sounds, I was thinking of download complete popup or something like that?

If you just so happen to recently have updated to Windows Live Messenger 9+, make sure it's not one of your contacts sign in sounds :rolleyes:

You could be onto something.... Hmmm... now how to work out which, if any of the contacts have that as their signature sound...

Go straight to the top of the class - that's exactly what it was...! Ta

Going to have to bug that - there's no way of knowing where, or who the sound comes from unless you happen to spot someone log onto IM at the same time the noise triggers. Without a shadow of a doubt my first thought was trojan/malware

Glad I didn't format the PC just to be safe - that would have been funny when as soon as I reinstalled IM it started again
