Hello there, The other day this random male voice could be heard talking to me. I was just working on a paper when I suddenly heard him saying "Warning, treatment for acne immediately, presentation begins in 5 seconds." I wait, nothing happens. I had no idea where it came from. None of my processes seemed suspicious, the voice assistant was disabled. I checked all my chrome tabs for a source but nothing was found. I subsequently turned off the computer. Could this be some kind of malware? Eager to hear from you, Mati Continue reading...

I'm not sure what could be causing this, I've scanned for malware and viruses but haven't detected any, I could have missed one. But if anyone has any solution to this please help me.
