When I listen to music on my acer computer (MS Vista), or if I am idle for a short time, Acer ads occur with sound effects. Very annoying when listening to music. Is there a way to stop these acer ads?
Optional Information: Computer OS: Windows Vista Browser: Firefox Already Tried: Looked for help from Acer sites but do not get a service number to ask about this problem.
Hello
My name is James
Wleocme to Just Answer
So when you listing to Music ,you still get Windows sounds
?
sounds are generated when the acer ads for their new laptops start whenever I am not using the computer. It's idle or I am listening to music
ok are these sounds comming from the Acer webpage ?
I don't know. They are flashy ads telling how great their new laptops are. This is something that did not occur until recently. I have been using this Acer Aspire for 2 years before this started. It's if they begin whenever there is idle time on my part of computer use. If I am doing a Norton scan, they will start, but if I hit any key they stop.
Ok lets do a couple of things , i think they are comming from a webpage , but lets find out
First lets run a scan with Malware , it find spyware /adware CLICK HERE then in the top left and get the blue version free
if that comes back clean we will look at the Broswer settings , if that fails we look if a program is causing it
I am unable to minimize the just answer screen to run Malware from my icon screen. I have not been able to run malware recently.It locks up at C:\program file\abbyyFine Reader6.0sprint\Roman .amt.
Ok do this
Press Ctrl and D - that will bookmark this Page - so you can get back to me
Then do this
Restart the Machine
Tap F8 > Keep tapping
A list of Options will appear
Choose Safemode with Networking
Log in and they you will be able to Run Malware
then come back to me from the bookmarked link , of log into Just answer and click on my qestions in the top right
ok will do. I missed sending additional info: I tried to delete program abbyy fine reader etc., and got message, 'windows installer service could not be accessed'. I also wanted to delete another program, and that went through without a warning message? Whenever I tried to delete abbyy fine reader, kept getting 'windows installer' message.
Ok we can forcefully remove the software , using some software called Revo
lets get malware run , then we can remove this program
ok

Problem still occurs. The computer seems to be less quirky though. Also, I have the MS shield superimposed on the revo icon after I installed it and ran. MSshield has been on the Malware icon as well for a time?
do you mean the run as administrator Icon?
It's the icons that appear on the startup screen. malwarebytes, revo are two.icons which have the shield superimposed, revo as recent as yesterdays iintall. The MS shield is the same as shown with the ms defender(shield with 4 colors red blue,green,yellow). Also I started getting a list of programs that windows did not like when i booted up the computer. Message said windows blocked them from the startup
