Firefox, Google and Pacman
So, I fire up my comp this a.m., open up my browser's homepage (Firefox AOL-not that I use AOL, I must justify ), and I am greeted by background sounds of Pacman sirens and gobbling dots. Close, then re-open...same. When I use IE....nothing. 
Worries set in about an infection. Run CCleaner, HJT, MBAM, Spybot. All clean. Open FF...Pacman sounds still greet me. Run ComboFix....clean. 
I go to another, "clean" computer to google "FF and Pacman sounds"...and the same issue appears on it when I open the (FF) browser!! Go to google.com, any way...and google's logo is a Pacman eating dots with the sound playing!! I google the terms, and find that a lot ( ) of people are having the same issue. Turns out that if you have CoolPreviews with FF, and go to a page that links to google.com, you will be serenaded by the hungry Pacman as long as your browser is open. 
Solution: disable CoolPreviews until Google decides to change their current logo set-up.
