Nevertheless, the "victims" of viral advertising from this is not easier. Therefore, let's resolve this unpleasant situation through the effective methods covered in this article.
About the virus
The voice “open your mail” is nothing but the audio accompaniment of advertising, which is prescribed in the software environment by installing an application. And not without user intervention.

However, your trust should always have reasonable limits. As a result, the message “open your mail” will not bother you with your annoying presence. So, the first rule: never install something that you are not sure about!

When nothing helps
If, in spite of the actions you have taken, the computer says “open your mail”, and your confidence in the correctly applied settings is confirmed by repeated testing, then only one thing remains ... Download and install the free version of “Malwarebytes”. After the first start with the Update button, update the database. “Sharovy” software with such misfortune as “voices from nowhere”, straightens out for “cheers!” Heuristic analysis is able to track seriously hidden "spies". A fairly simple control compensates for the “foreign” interface. The program is launched by pressing the “Scan Now” button. After the software scans your disks and detects an “intruder”, click “Apply Action”. Then open the upper tab “History” and delete all files that are in quarantine. After the request to reboot, give consent, first saving your work. Now certainly the “postmen” will forget your address.
