Sound Problem ?

For the past couple of weeks I've been having a "boik, boik" sound, while browsing web sites and reading emails(O.E), etc.... very annoying. I've checked all the sounds in XP under sounds and there's nothing like a "boik, boik" sound as defaults.(sorry, that's the only way I can describe it)

I've run Ad-aware, Spybot, PestControl, etc.... but have been unable to cure or find it. Anyone any ideas ???

 

Do you have the google toolbar installed? It has a pop-up blocker that makes a sound whenever it blocks a pop-up. You can turn the sound off in the toolbar options.

 

Zander, that was my first thought, too. I also have the sounds disabled on AdSubtract and Privacy Bird- bet there are lots of programs with sounds available. Might want to check on that- don't know of any that come in the IE browser itself.

Zander: Thanks, I don't think I have Google Tool Bar installed, although when I type a search in the url section It searches in Google. While there, I went into the preference and there was no mention of "pop-up" or sound - just filter levels (I turned that off but it didn't help) Do you know where I would look for a "pop-up sound on/off ???

 

Problem Solved..... one by one I uninstalled utilities, testing after each. The guilty party was "Pest Patrol ", after deleting it the annoying sounds left me.

Thanks Johanna and Zanda for taking the time to reply

 

Glad to hear you found it. If you want to reinstall Pest Patrol more than likely there's a setting in it's options to turn the sound off.

 

Yes, I thought about that - I may just try it. I was on the trial version and thinking serious about buying it so I'd be interested to see if I can eliminate the sound. Thanks again
