That's one of the five scans.

As I lamented in the post, no single scan seems to uncover everything. I run all five, then see if it's found or ejected. If that fails, then you run HijackThis and post the log for people to comment on.

My Mother called me with the same problem a few weeks back. Do you have "Aim" running? Aim has started adding sound to their advertisement banner. I've personally experienced this and thought I was going mad.
