Hi: About 2 days ago I started hearing a single or quick double click
sound
(it is a wave file because if I turn down the wave volume I do not hear
it)
at approximately 3 minute intervals; I timed it. I have AVG firewall and
Aniti-Virus plus new Ad-Aware 2007. I cannot find anything wrong or a
virus
but this 'clicking' is driving me crazy. Has anyone had problem lately,
is
this a virus? The only thing new on my PC is the Ad-Aware 2007 we were
forced to move to, but it did not hear it the first few days it was
installed; plus the click it almost
exactly 3 minutes so it is not a sound letting me know something is being
blocked. I have check every setting I can find in the application that
could cause this problem.

Please help before I go bonkers.

Thanks,
