Hello davidned, I see illukka just cleaned your computer for you on Nov 4, 2005? He also gave you some important information to help you stay clean, and here you are back with a load of junk? Did you bother to read and use the information illukka provided?
I will clean out the junk again but you must go back to the information he provided here: http://forums.tomcoyote.org/index.php?showtopic=49194 and use it!!!
Before I start, I wish to say that the bad stuff does not make noise, if you are experiencing noise it is more than likely hardware related and I would return to the other computer problems and ask about those noises.

Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

If you use Adobe, there is a new version 7.0
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\

Post another log for a last check, review illukka's information and here is some from me: Here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:

We have two computers in the house. That was my computer illukka responded to. Its perfectly normal. The one you are responding to is my family computer.
Post #4
OK, then follow the instructions I posted, including the instructions to ask the folks in Other Computer Problems. The noise may go on for a long time or some piece of hardware, like the hard drive or an fan may be about to go. See what those folks think. They may be able to help you pinpoint the problem? Post a new log once you finish removing the adware I listed, and let me know how the computer is running. Thanks…Phil

Ok I did everything you said and here is my log. I found out that the fan on this computer is messed up and we are going to replace it.

OK, thanks for the new log. I had a feeling it was a fan, not to many things that make a noise when they are going. Looking at your HJT log I see this:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [IPInSightMonitor 01] "C:\Program Files\SBC Yahoo!\Connection Manager\IP InSight\IPMon32.exe"

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/Osa.exe-2924.html

Let me say that the above items are not malware, simply items that may not need to run at bootup that may save you some resources. This is your call. You HJT log is clean and I posted some links earlier to help you stay that way.

Here are some other ideas to help improve spped:
