So, ever since yesterday, i have a sound effect played every 10 or so minutes saying in a light joking voice: "hehe, **** you right in the *******. At first i thought it was someone in Discord, but i closed all apps, and the SFX is still playing every 10 or so minutes. I ran with MB and N360, nothing found. May i get some help?

Oh and also, MB has rootkit check and everything else on.
I also ran ADWCleaner and nothing found.

it could be anything not necessarily scheduled however you can check to see if there is a scheduled event by doing this:

 

Open Task Scheduler by clicking the Start button 4f6cbd09-148c-4dd8-b1f2-48f232a2fd33_818, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking Task Scheduler.‌ 18abb370-ac1e-4b6b-b663-e028a75bf05b_48. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

 

if there is anything scheduled in there it could be one of those simply click on what you suspect it to be and see when the next event is scheduled to happen if it is 10ish minutes from when you check you've found the culprit

 

try disabling all start up items (winkey +r, msconfig (windows 7/8/8.1)(windows 10 right click start button go to task manager) and go to start up disable everything, reboot pc see if it continues

I actually figured it out myself. I apologize for wasting your time and effort towards my issue. I opened rkill so it could terminate processes. It found one. As that happened, i open adwcleaner, and it found a file which had the little explicit sound effect in it. It was deleted. Thanks for the help though!

Please lock this @mods.

It was a process in the task manager. It was a client of some source. Rkill caught this in system32: HPSIsvc.exe (PID: 2296) [WD-HEUR] whatever that means

Not sure it was that but im happy its gone, tbh.
