Hi folks,not CC related at all this post.ive just started to use the speakers on me computer,never really needed them before.

But every now and then i hear a sound,dont laugh but its a sheep going bah bah.

Now what i want to know from the computer bods amongest us is it some kind of virus,ive run normal checks and it comes up fine but as ive been away for quite a while im unsure.

Thanks buddys

I managed to get a little program called esheep installed on my comp. Brothers litle trick

.
Every time I switched on this program ran and I had a sheep running around Bahhing on the screen.
I remember having to go to the start menu and onto the run command. That brings up a box requester.
Type msconfig and hit return. It loads up a program that has a "Startup" tab click this, and it shows everything your computer is told to run every time you start. In my case it showed a program called Esheep being run every time. Yuo can deselect it from there.

It was not a virus so my antivirus did not pick it up either.

Maybe you could find something obviously sheep related in your startup menu.

My speakers in work used to pick up taxi radios as they drove past outside. Very funny getting a quick blast of a taxi drivers conversations. Never heard sheep though - not even in Wales

You dont have a mobile phone next to them do you, coz it picks up the signal locator that the networks send out. Sound a bit like a sheep

Get a program called Ad-Aware. Its freely downloadable from

http://www.lavasoft.de

It'll check your computer and ensure that you don't have any spyware or stuff like that on your PC. I use it quite a lot and install the free version on any PC that I build for friends.

There is alot of spyware out there, such as GAIN. (PrecisionDate) This program will scan for it and alert you to it. Its good....

PS. I don't work for them, am just a tech-head....
