Hear Click sound (it is a wave file) every 3 minutes.

[Guest]

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,

I helped with a similar problem; a UPS had software that made sounds.
The sound wasn't available in the Control Panel's Sounds applet.. I did
a search for all .wav sounds, and tested each till the culprit was
located. Once the software causing the sound was found, it was easy
enough to turn it off in that software's preferences.

Lot of IM apps do crap like this. Check there.

Sorry, having a brain-warp, what is IM? That way I can check my IM apps?

Thanks,
