While using my computer I have had random baby laughing in the background!

Suspect its a virus.

Downloaded a sailing game Sailx.com Nothing out of the ordinary but since have had the baby laughing and the finder windows going extra wide.

Anyone had something like this happen and could anyone help in purging this out of my system?

Thanks

Is Safari open while these noises are audible? If so it could be malware and downloading malwarebytes for mac should sort that out https://www.malwarebytes.com

Also, have a look in Notifications in System Preferences. Are there any audio notifications related to Sailx?

Nothing in Notifications nickyr.

Is there a free download for Malwarebytes? Bit of a stinge at the moment.

And yes playing the Sailx.com game on Safari.

next time you are playing the game turn off the sounds for the website by clicking icon on the right side of the address bar and see if you hear the baby, if so it's not the game. at least can see if it's coming from the site or not.

There is a free version of malwarebytes. I'd be willing to bet that malware is at the root of your problem so downloading, installing and running it should (hopefully) solve your problem.

Good luck
