i've noticed something...
couldnt it be WLMessenger? i have the WLM sounds disabled but when it logs in it makes that same sound... i believe it is when it loads the ads on the bottom...i think it could be that
EDIT: i found it. it is from msn today.
somehow its an WLM error. when i login into WLM it should open MSN today but it doesnt, however the window is somehow open and reloading every now and then on background, i just cant see it.
reinstalling WLM
Glad you found the probable program that's launching
I wasn't trying to say you definitely had a virus, but it doesn't hurt to eliminate the possibilities.
It could be anything that's launching, could be Live doing a background update, could be the Google toolbar...could be a number of things.
I hope WLMessenger to be the culprit. If it doesn't, then it's time to look at all the processes running and once you hear the sound, see if any new process has launched.
no sound since i turned off msn today. Thank you for your help and im glad it wasnt a virus or something worse! :)
I noticed the incessant clicking sound that I identified as the 'start navigation' sound in windows 7. It happened about every minute until I shut off my Gmail Notifier Pro and viola, no more clicking...
