"Congratulations you've won a trophy" virus

[Sketch]

So randomly while I'm on my comp, a voice (that sounds like something out of Diablo or Starcraft) will very loudly announce, "Congratulations you've won a trophy". Other than that it doesn't seem like anything else changes on my computer, but it concerns me that this just happens for seemingly no reason. I've done several virus scans and googled some stuff but came up with nothin. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

If you were on a browser, this could have just been a dumb ad. I have Flash disabled by default in my browser for this reason, as it prevents crap like that.

If you did not have a browser open, you should be very careful. Run Malwarebytes and Spybot immediately. If they find nothing, use ctrl-shift-esc to open Task Manager and check the running processes; if you see anything suspicious, you can try to track it down and delete it; do not enter any personal information anywhere until this is resolved. Disconnect internet, disable suspicious processes, and deactivate suspicious processes. Then, go to "Run" and type "msconfig". Disable any suspicious items from the automatic startup list.

If you think this did not kill the malware/virus, it may be necessary to revert windows, if you have a save point (I'm a bit oldschool, which here means paranoid idiot, so I usually just reinstall if things get bad). Most of the bugs I've seen that obviously require this have also disabled internet, so if you're reading this that isn't the case but keep it in mind.

Obviously, go through escalation first; try malwarebytes and Spybot first, then Microsoft Security Essentials (this is NOT included in windows, but it is free). If you see no trace of the bug after that, you should be fine.

I also strongly recommend disabling plugins for your browser, and keeping relatively strict security settings. Any time a program asks to install something to your browser it is a scam, cancel that ♥♥♥♥ and get out of there. No, stop, CANCEL IT and get away, it isn't worth it, I don't care what they offered. Obvious exception for plug-ins you specifically seek out and install individually. Usually, because those can be malware too, but at that point I assume you've figured out what Google is so you can check on the stuff.

Thanks for the information. This does only happen in browser, so It probably is some ad. I'll go through my plugins and clean things up. Thanks

Hey, sorry if this is a bit late, but I think this is to do with your Roccat mouse trophy system (mine did this, I have a Roccat Savu). Theres a video to disable it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB01O7T75Nk

I hope this helps you :)

Yeah for me it gave that notification even just when I was starting my PC. Couple times I didn't really pay attention to it, but after I got it more often I started to worry that I got a Virus. But apparently it's just Roccat's Software. Trophy Notification. :) Pretty loud but fun. So I am keeping it. But the video was helpful. Thanks :)

So THAT'S what's been creeping me out the past few months, omg xD
Though to me it's my keyboard and I think it's the ROCCAT Talk-software that came with the keyboard-driver x_x

Haha, I know what you mean xD
Because I had to reinstall my computer a while back, I've lost all of my "trophies" and have yet to disable the voice again. So the other day I once again jumped more or less out of my chair because of that scary voice. Still, it is a bit fun as well ^_^
