my computer is 1 year 4 months old. its out of the MFG warranty. i just updated norton anti virus definitions (by just i mean TODAY) and did a scan, it took almost 4 hours to scan my whole computer which is unusually long for norton. i checked my harddrive and i have 14 gigs used. the last time i defragged my hard drive was maybe 2 weeks ago. i use diskeeper pro.

so viruses = ZERO
by noise it actually makes two kinds of noise.
one is a electronic whinning noise.
second one sounds like 'quickly scratching your nail against the desk'

i have a toshiba satellite and usually, its super quiet.

i have a strong gut feeling its the hard drive...

update:
i just ran Ad-aware, and there were 9 new objects found.
which is a really small amount, and they were all tracking cookies.
