I don't use Norton, I quit with it aaaaages ago, it sucked too much, and slowed down my PC a lot!

And Link, I used Stinger one of the best scanners out of free and paid for (proabably the best, if not, definitely one of the top ones), it saved me from another scary virus, which froze my PC 5 mins after having it on, and I could only use already open programs, if I tried opening something new, it would freeze completely! Takes a long time to scan, but unfortunately the current versions don't seem to be able to delete this beeping virus.

Yeah people stop raggin on antivirus software lol most free ones are actually a lot better than some of the paid ones.

I'll do a search for this beeping virus for you mate.

Thanks I tried googling for the Symantec thingy, but I couldn't find the right link to follow to get the info about the virus, maybe I missed something?

It turns out it wasn't a virus, but my computer overheating.
Thanks Aries!! Now it'll be much easier to fix since I know what the problem is.
The beeping sound is gone, but if I uncheck something, it'll be back. So now I just gotta get someone to help me fix it completely
