Question Odd sound while on web.

Anybody heard a squeaking door while surfing?
Last little while I have heard a sound of a door openning and then a few minutes later banging shut. Only happens while I am on the internet. Weird stuff. I can't figure out what it is. I ran my antivirus, nothing found. Then I tried ad-aware, to see if it might be some ad related spyware, nothing. I dumped all temp. internet files and cookies with no result. This only happens a few times a week, but I don't know if someone is sneaking a peek in my files. I also have latest version of zone alarm.

Hi brx,

Do you have AOL Instant Messenger installed? It should be a little blue circle with a yellow stick man figure in the system tray (lower right hand corner of the screen). The squeaking door sound is the sound the program makes when someone on your list comes online. You can right click on the icon and exit the program.

Hope that helps.
