While insomniac early Wednesday morning I installed General Technics-recommended anti-malware Mike Bentley told me about on FaceBook. I decided to try the free version first. It removed about 180 files and "keys" right away, and now alerts me regularly to the presence of nonmalware-but-unrequested files showing up. But it didn't stop, Thursday morning after Windows update restart, another instance of a soundtrack, from a video in no program the laptop was running (it was running no programs at all when this commenced), playing on my speakers. I think this video was dubbed anime, from the tone of the voices and from the references in dialog to vampires and high schools. Remember I said when this happened the other day it was a male enhancement product ad that seemed to go on for an hour? For the twenty minutes I listened to the second one, doing other things before shutting the laptop down and heading to work, it seemed to be the same ten-minute string of scenes twice. The ad might have been on repeat instead of actually lasting as long as I thought. (It's supposed to be dangerous for that to last very long anyway, isn't it?) Maybe I need to upgrade to the paid version of the anti-malware. Or to figure out how to select which video plays. After all I am two behind on Downton Abbey.
