Hi guys,
my computer has been constantly playing random commercial or some sort of advertisement sounds in the background, but I don't see it or know where it's coming from? How do I remove this? ???

Hello and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer.
1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.

Looking over your log it seems you don't have any antivirus software.
Before we continue download and install a free antivirus.I would recommend MicroSoft Security Essentials
Remember to only install one antivirus!
1) Avast! Home Edition (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Avast_Home_Edition_d1968.html)
2) AVG Free Edition (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=886)
3) Avira AntiVir Personal (http://www.majorgeeks.com/AntiVir_Personal_Edition_7_d955.html)
4) MicroSoft Security Essentials (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-all-versions) All versions and all languages.
5) Comodo Antivirus (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Comodo_AntiVirus_d5109.html) (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" if you choose this one)
It is strongly recommended that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts and false virus alerts. If you choose to install more than one antivirus program on your computer, then only one of them should be active in memory at a time.
**************************************************************
Update Your Java (JRE)
Old versions of Java have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
First Verify your Java Version (http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp)
If there are any other version(s) installed then update now.
Get the new version (if needed)
If your version is out of date install the newest version of the Sun Java Runtime Environment (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Sun_Java_Runtime_Environment_d4648.html).
Note: UNCHECK any pre-checked toolbar and/or software offered with the Java update. The pre-checked toolbars/software are not part of the Java update.
Be sure to close ALL open web browsers before starting the installation.
Remove any old versions
1. Download JavaRa (http://raproducts.org/click/click.php?id=1) and unzip the file to your Desktop.
2. Open JavaRA.exe and choose Remove Older Versions
3. Once complete exit JavaRA.
Additional Note: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) (http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/otherFeatures/jqs.html) adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications. To disable the JQS service if you don't want to use it, go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter. Click OK and reboot your computer.
************************************************
Update your Adobe Reader. get.adobe.com/reader (http://get.adobe.com/reader/).
Be sure to uncheck the Free McAfee Security Scan so it isn't installed.
