Ok, about 2 weeks ago, I re-formatted my hdd. Now, I installed xp and all my programs back up, but a week ago, about 1 out of every 2 times I turn on my computer, it freezes a little after. Everything stops responding and makes an annoying "tick tick tick" sound, but really really fast. So you think its a virus, or just xp being lame?


And I cant find my norton anti virus disk, so I want your opinions first.

XP usually doesnt have errors like that. try reinstalling it, or reformatting again. same thing happened to my friend and it was a virus on his computer AFTER he reformatted, so you might have to buy a new HD

Actually, if it is a noise coming from the speakers, it is most likely a corrupt file within XP... Perhaps you should reinstall windows and just tell us how it goes.

Go to Symantec (http://security.symantec.com/ssc/home.asp?j=1&langid=us&venid=sym&plfid=20&pkj=PINNIVFWMFKPXKBQWNQ) & do a "scan my pc" I think that is what it is called & they will remotely scan yr pc & if you have a virus you can download the fix 4 nuthin.
