Question
I have a strange thing going on, Two different times now, when I'm on the internet, but just on the home page, not on any site, strange sounds start coming from my computer, It starts out with haunting sounds and then the song ghostbuster starts playing, just little tidbits over and over then some voices (maybe from the movie)  I ran a full scan on kapersky internet security and didn't find a virus.  I'm using Clearwire wireless internet service and live pretty much out of reach of other internet services.  What could it be?  I promise I'm not crazy,

Answer
Here I thought it was the 4th of July weekend and Donna, now you're telling me it's Halloween!  But, seriously folks...
Sounds like you have a malware pop up attached to your homepage.  I don't understand why these voices only "appeared" twice.  You have several options to "dehaunt" your machine.  The most basic would be to clear the browser cookies, cache and history.  If that doesn't get rid of the ghosts I'd call your ISP tech support.  Or you could try changing the homepage.  You could also block pop ups in your browser.  You could also go to trendmicro.com and use their free online scan. http://shop.trendmicro.com/trialpay/
If none of this works, let me know...or you could stop drinking alcohol or phone a shrink.  Happy 4th, Pat
