Strange noise no matter what programs are open! Cash register like CHING. Pls help I’m dying here!?

January 9, 2010

Very much at my wits end here. This noise is driving me bonkers.

I have restarted, closed every program, run virus checks, trojan checks, malware, spyware checks, cleaned my registry, restarted, haven’t added any new hardware or software and I still cannot figure out where this noise is coming from. If the speakers are off, simple – no noise. The time in between the sound varies, sometimes it’s 2 seconds and other times it can be 10 minutes. It sounds like a CHING, cash register or photo snap noise. Happens even when I have nothing open and just there @ the desktop. I know I’m not back doored so nobody has my webcam open and is snapping photos or anything like that. Anybody have any clue as to what this annoying god awful noise is? I can’t listen to anything (videos, music, etc) because the noise adds itself right in there just to bug the crap out of me! There is no noise @ startup, & yahoo, aim or any other messenger is not open and the noise still goes on. HELP!
No screensaver running and it does it all the time no matter what is open or closed, program wise. i have run every anti spyware program out there well …almost and i have no clue where this noise comes from. Was hoping someone else had this happen and could give me an answer.

How can I record registry changes with Win XP?

November 29, 2009

I run Win XP, and I have a clean version of Win XP installed on a virtual machine for testing new programs that I’m not sure about, or to try the latest programs my buddies like (and discard if I don’t). The disk is set to non-persistent and reverts back to the default installation when I shut down the VM, so I don’t get loads of rush left on my test machine, but the problem is that I can’t see what’s happening in the background (like if a trojan/spyware is being installed).

I’m looking for ideally a free program that will record/list all the registry settings (and files if possible) when I install a program.

I also help people make computers and this type of tools would be useful for multiple reasons.

I have many registry tweaks which are great for xp users, but I would like to make sure that’s all they do, and not corrupt part of their registry.

Thanks for the help, ;o)

How do I uninstall programs not in Control Panel?

November 1, 2009

Some time ago I had a huge problems with adware, spyware, and a trojan. 3 of the programs I used for diagnostics and removal were Hijackthis, DSS (Decker Security System), and Smitfraudfix (the program not the malware). None of them are listed under the Start Menu along with an uninstall tab, nor are they populated under add/remove new software. I want to remove the whole programs not just the shortcuts so I can reclaim the memory. Can anyone help this computer moron?
