Hi,
I've been having problems with my laptop recently. Im not a computer geek but i think there is a virus in it anyway it started with having IE popping up while working on chrome at first and my laptop wont stream anything online although i used to do it all the time (but i can stream on another laptop). Other than yesterday my speakers started making these static noises while im on skype and working on chrome, whenever i stop working on chrome or anything else (i've tried) it stops crackling.. I tried my headphones the crackle is still there..
I have windows 7, HP probook, AVG security , Malwarebyte , windows defender / firewall. Would be delighted to hear solutions to any of my problems ! thank youu !

What do you mean 'my laptop wont stream'
what happens when you are trying to watch videos?

On most laptops the sound is processed on the motherboard, if you are hearing static, even w/ headphones, that may be a sign of a faulty board
Buts its hard to tell.

I would check EventViewer and see if there is allot of warnings or errors that are showing up when you are trying to stream content.

If all those programs don't find any malware, try something like TDSSKiller Rootkit Removal
