While I'm not sure what happened, my parents computer has a virus, and now random ads, and sometimes music play in the background (no... IE, FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera, whatever are all closed). This happens on start-up, so I'm sure a hidden open program. If I pull up the Sound Mixer, I can see it under the application, but it is listed as "Name Not Available" I've run Malwarebytes, Avira, Spybot S&D, and SuperAntiMalware, however I cannot seem to get rid of it.
Last night I turned on my moms laptop and after it connected to WiFi, what sounded like a radio station came on, without Google Chrome or Internet Explorer being open. I opened the Audio Mixer, and there was a program that was running in it. It said "Name not available". I looked up this problem and found out that this could possibly be a root kit. I worked for about 8-10 hours on this laptop trying to get this off. I have ran Malwarebytes, Avira, Windows Defender(all full scans). I have also used Rouge Killer, TDSS Killer, Security Check, ADWcleaner, Combo fix, Hijack this, Hitman pro, Emsisoft Emergency kit, Junkware Removal tool, and Spybot Search and Destroy. NOTHING WORKS. This is my last resort. I need an expert.
I don't exactly know when it started, but every time I start up my computer and go into the mixer there is a source titled Name not available. It's muted and you can't unmute it. If you mess around with the slider you can sometimes get sound to come in, and it sounds like a radio that keeps changing stations. The only way to stop it is to disable the internet and then it stops, but once I re-enable the internet it starts back up again. I have no clue what it is and what its coming from. I've ran multiple virus and malware scans on my computer with a bunch of different programs and they have found nothing. It also severely impacts my internet speed. I have scanned through the task manager processes and services, and didn't find anything.
Name Not Available Virus is a malicious malware infection which is designed by cyber criminals with illicit aim to generate commission by fooling the innocent users. Basically, Name Not Available is caused by an attack from a Trojan horse virus on the audio driver. Once infected, you can see a "Name not available" channel for the audio ads being created in my Volume Mixer. This malware performs dangerous activities to harm the PC severely, and computer users may hear strange replicated sounds in the machine. Computer users may hear weird constant sounds in the system background every time they start the computer. Distinguished from other common virus, Name Not Available threat will not reproduce by itself and intentionally infect other documents. Apart from strange sounds, many random ads pop up from time to time. Once intruding, Name Not Available will do lots of harmful activities on your computer, such as monitor traffic and keystrokes; create a "backdoor" into the system for the hacker's use; alter log files; attack other machines on the network; and alter existing system tools to escape detection. Name Not Available can also escape from many antivirus or security applications and has the ability to hide connections, files and process. Considering the safety of your computer, it’s highly recommended to remove Name Not Available completely from your system as soon as possible.
