Possessed Computer Or...?

I tried to update my son's computer, because it said important update to windows. It won't even start up now. It says to uninstall software that was just put on, but won't even go into safe mode. There must be something with computers going on.

sorry.

Hard to say not knowing the other site you had open but I would suspect it may have been something on someone's Facebook page. Some people set audio to automatically load and play when you go to their page. I've also had audio pop up and start well after I went on a site because it sometimes takes a while to load before it starts to play. Something else weird that happened to me recently. I went to a site that took a while for the audio to load and when it started playing, I closed the tab, leaving that site. The sound continued to play though. Usually, as soon as you leave the site, the audio stops, but not this time. 20 or 30 seconds went by and it was still playing. I had to close the whole browser to get it to stop. Never had that happen before so I'm wondering if they came up with some sort of code that buffers audio onto your hard-drive or somehow into the browser or something. It seems like they come up with new ways to annoy computer users all the time...

Would be helpful to know what the movie was possibly, are any of your pages colinked with Utube? That is the first thing that comes to mind...

You could always through it out the window. Works for me :) Seriously I find that with 3 sites I consistently get cruddy, strange things going on with my computer...mylot, bukisa and xomba...With any of these sites, I'm not surprised if my computer melts into cyper oblivion.

I am not a member of Facebook, but recently friends of mine who do have accounts were discussing videos sent to them or links posted on their wall that looked suspicious. These apparently were sent by friends who, when checked, had not sent anything. My friends had not opened the link, but another user they knew did, and said it knocked him off Facebook. Like I said, I am not a Facebooker and not sure if my response has any relevance, but when you said 'Facebook' and 'movie', it reminded me of that conversation.

i had some interesting things happen with having Facebook and myLot open about an hr. and a half ago myself. Makes me wonder what was up. Had to hit the power button as nothing else would work and took me awhile to get my Computer back up as well. So you are not the only one.

I've had that happen to me before. I don't know what it is, but my theories are that someone has hacked a site, and/or implanted some kind of virus. Just to be safe, update and run your virus software.

That does sound strange. I have had things like that happen in the past and it turned out to be a pop out window that had opened without me realising it and had started in the background. I know that you had 3 sites open, but were they just separate tabs in the same browser? Did you check to make sure that there was not another browser open on the tool bar at the bottom of the screen? I am guessing that you probably would have noticed if there was as it would have been easy to see. Sometimes movies can take a while to load so it might have been a pop up from some page that you viewed earlier. Could have even been from someone's myLot profile maybe? Weird!

I was wondering if someone else in your house was watching the same video in your television. I read somewhere that computer get interference from televisions and other computers, cellphone, etc. It may be a matter of frequencies getting mixed up. Had that happen to me one time. You could hear the audio but there's no display.At times if you plug in headphones FM music starts playing. That also happened to me. Try asking people in your house. Maybe this answers the big mystery. I hope it helps.
