Stupid clicking noise

Well, the reason I downloaded HijackThis is because my computer would randomly screw up. I would download a song, listen to it a million times, and then one random time, it would start "skipping" (like a cd sounds) and when I would stop the song, a clicking sound would come from the speakers, slowly getting faster until I turned the computer off. It happened probably three or four times in the last two months or so, but because it would fix itself after I turned it off. Then today, it did it while I was watching a video right on the internet. The others were all songs, and I had downloaded them onto my computer. So I thought that was weird and I called the place I bought the computer (just a couple months ago) and the guy told me to download this and see if that was the problem. Since I'm computer retarded, here I am. And here's my HijackThis log…

If anyone could tell me what to get rid of and what to keep, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Mandy :D

Welcome to the forum, sorry about the delay in responding but we are a small crew of volunteers and we do get backlogged at times.

Lets clean up your log and see if it makes a difference.



DO THIS FIRST
Your HIJACKTHIS program is current, but it is very important that it resides in its own folder.
We will use Hijackthis (HJT) to make changes to your system and HJT will make backups of those changes,
If HJT is not in its own folder, those backups could be lost.

Easy to fix,
* just go to My Computer > YOUR C:\ DRIVE > Program Files and create a new folder and name it Hijackthis .
* Now scroll to where you have HJT currently, right click on the HJT icon and select CUT .
* Now open the new folder you just created and right click within that folder and select PASTE .
* Now HJT should reside in C:\Program Files\Hijackthis\Hijackthis.exe

Please do not proceed until you have moved HJT



You need to go to your Add-Remove Programs in your Control Panel and remove these programs if there present.

MyWebSearch
zango
Morpheus Toolbar
<– This one is questionable, it tracks where you go and reports back to there server.




Download and install the 30 day trial of Ewido Anti-Spyware from HERE and save that file to your desktop.

* Once you have downloaded Ewido Anti-Spyware, locate the icon on the desktop and double-click it to launch the set up program.
* Once the setup is complete you will need run Ewido and update the definition files.
* On the main screen select the icon Update then select the Update now link.
* Next select the Start Update button, the update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
* Once the update has completed select the Scanner icon at the top of the screen, then select the Settings tab.
* Once in the Settings screen click on Recommended actions and then select Quarantine <– Dont forget this
* Under Reports
* Select Automatically generate report after every scan
* Un-Select Only if threats were found
* Close Ewido Anti-Spyware <– Do not run the scan yet.




Open HJT Scan Only, close your browser and all open windows, check these entries and click on Fix Checked
