    Strange windows clicking/ad sound from system


    Every 2 hours or so, there would be a mysterious windows 7 clicking sound coming from the system sound, the way to describe the sound would be whenever you browse through your C: drive, every folder you access will have the default window click sound depending on the theme you're using.

    It starts off with my cursor doing the refresh/loading animation and a few seconds later it produces the sound, is this some sort of trojan/adware/keylogger?

    I really need help here.

    Thank you.

    Sounds like some type of spyware/malware.
    Run a full scan with Malwarebytes ASAP.

    Repost on the Security section of the forum. Although you get the sound, its not a "sound" problem.

    Its some type of system problem or could still be some type of malware.
