Anyone Run Into A Mac Virus/trojan That Plays Random Audio Files (that Aren’t Yours) When On Firefox?

Every now and then when I surf on firefox, random audio file (music, speech, ads) start playing together randomly. I have none of these files on my computer. I’ve seen post about PC users with this problem. Anyone with a MAC run into this and solve this problem?

    If you haven’t downloaded any programs from untrusted sources then I don’t think you have a trojan. You have to download and install to get infected on a Mac. If you did, then go to apple.com downloads then go to network and security. You will find free anti-virus software there. But be for you do that, open firefox, click on tools, clear Private Data, check everything except, Saved password and Authenticated Sessions. Now click on clear Private Data Now. The other thing to check in firefox is the add -ons did you install any of those and then start having the problems. If so delete the add-on.
