Well I jsut got some virus from only God knows where and guess what it did to my comp. It wiped out all my word documents/webpages all images, all mp3's, and reset all my programs somehow. Now has anyone ever heard of anthing like this cuz its nuts! Also the way it started was I was sitting here and then my comp starts makign funny noises like that robot guy in Star Wars (literally it sounded like a robot with beeps and clicks and stuff) but not through the speakers like through the comp :blink: does anyone have a clue how to repair this or anything? oh yeah it messed up Norton to so I cant update and last time I tried to update it started making those noises

You might have to recover it cause maybe your EXPLORER.EXE might have crashed you can find it at windows task manager in procsses or if you press ctrl+alt+delete you can find EXPLORER.EXE there

if it was a noise coming from the computer as opposed to the speakers, it isnt a virus...viruses affect software and cannot change the physical status of hardware...have you tried restarting your computer?

yes well usually when you hear a few beeps upon startup of your machine, iit means it is trrying to tell you something. my brother heard like three short beeps when he satred his box one day and got a stop error. I looked up what that meant and it said that the memory was faulty, and sure enough, the memory he had was going out the door and he ended up getting a new machine.
