it was the frst time in years
MSE is woefully lacking compared to other antivirus progams. I have seen computers with only MSE infected multiple times. Each time another antivirus found and repaired the problem with ease.
It's weird that it would be on your htpc unless somebody has been using it for some sort of fuckery or it got hacked

but it did.
I feel like I got caught up with some malware like 5 years ago? on one of my pcs I clicked some dumb popup like an idiot and it cost me a day putting everything back together
4. "What browser are you running?" In response to Reply # 0
A few months ago I had a similar issue where random sounds would play through the speaker for no apparent reason. Nothing popped up with Avast, Malewarebytes, Superantyspyware or Spybot S&D. Turns out, IE had been hijacked and opened a webpage that did some streaming...something. Can't remember what it was, but it took a day or two to get that squared away.

Sounds similar to what I was experiencing.
I have several system restore images ready to go when it happens - it's too difficult to know how to fix it - its easier to start over.

That's how I figured it out, but I can't tell you exactly what it was
