    First it was Windows explorer that was under my sound option, well that went away, now it's Windows Media Player >=(
    I went to task manager, processes, closed the process, and it auto restarted ?!?! And this has happened after my computer auto restarted to do updates while i was sleeping =/
    Any advice to stop this or know might what be causing it?

    1. ClamAV
    2. ESS
    3. MBAM
    4. SuperAntiSpyware free adition
    5. Windows defender

    EVERYTHING came up clean, even rootkit revealer... Could it be because of my G19 keyboard? i know it added something for it also...

    might be. Its not necessarily a virus or malware, but it shouldnt be happening.

    Defrag your computer, uninstall unnecessary programs and good luck.
