When I close my internet windows (or randomly) I hear some advertisments, and most of the time its some radio station with country music o.o. I never downloaded anything, and my PC is new, got it like one month ago... Could it be a virus?

Yes- there are trojans in a lot of the ads you see on web sites that can do stuff like this. Download "Malwarebytes" and run it to see if it can find and remove anything hiding on your computer.

There are sometimes hiding adds. Go into your task manager and delete any extra internet browsers.
