Random audio, Possible virus, malwarebytes not detecting it.

[NJeffcoat]

some background info, I recently purchase and put together a new pc and installed all my favorite stuff now i can have 20 chrome tabs, discord, Spotify, steam, and a game open all at once because I like to multitask and now I can. a little while ago I got Malwarebytes full version because I like it so much as well as nordvpn(which I run through i2p sometimes, but mostly just as a browser extension for chrome). the problem now is that sometime recently I began to hear random audio playing, at first it wasn't out of the ordinary as I normally have Spotify running in the background for something to listen to while I talk to people on discord. what made this weird(rather what tipped me off) was that I was playing world of warcraft and out of nowhere the theme music to elders scrolls online started playing. offput as to where this was coming from I muted everything I KNOW I had running and searched all my chrome tabs and found nothing. the ESO music would play, stop, then play again for like three times then just stop altogether. I ran task manager to find any out of the norm programs but nothing and Malwarebytes couldn't find anything. please help, currently, it's only a slight nuisance but it's a virus nonetheless on my brand new computer and I want it gone.

First, if you haven't done so, please run a Threat Scan with the latest version of Malwarebytes. This may resolve your malware infection issue without the need for additional support. Click "Reveal Hidden Contents" below for details:

Don't use any temporary file cleaners unless requested - this can cause data loss and make a recovery difficult.

Please download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool here and save it to your desktop. Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit

1. Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to the disclaimer.
2. Press the Scan button.
   
   
    
3. It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach or copy and paste it to your reply.
4. The first time the tool is run, it also makes another log (Addition.txt). If you've run it before it may not and you may need to select it manually.
