Duck Hunt Virus?

I am sure I have some sort of malware or virus, but adaware, spybot S&D, and Norton's 2004 don't find anything. The reason for search, is my computer seems to be running slow. It's the one listed in my sig. I have owned the computer for it's entire life, and I haven't installed anything stupid like P to P stuff.

The other clue is that every other day or so, when I'm doing a bunch of stuff (listening to WMP, surfing the net, and using a couple of other programs) I get this sound through the speakers, and I swear it's the sound that the dog used to make when you'd miss the duck on Duck Hunt for the origional Nintendo. It's the craziest thing. I have all the sound profiles disabled so no program makes noise. The only noise I get it an ocasional pc beep, and my music.

Any ideas?

Maybe it's an over heating warning sound

That would be interesting. Not sure if it's at all possible, but something to try after this all gets cleared up. I could sell that to nostalgic computer hacks...

Well Thanks anyways. I guess nothing. I havn't heard the sound since sunday morning 3/27/05 (knock on wood). Maybe it's gone.
