Strange noises downloading

[Jorge Bravo]

XP Home SP3 on Toshiba Satellite laptop

With some downloads (not all) I get a repetitive metallic tac-tac-tac and
the system hangs. Any idea what is happening?

Thank you

I thought of that, but it works fine other than for two dowload sites.
Elsewhere I have been told that those using Firefox are having the same
problem due to bad Java script on those pages.

I am not sure what to try next.

this one downloaded fine.


these files are virus removers, in these days lots of malware prevents the
download and instalation of virus removers and anti-virus into the system
they controll...

i believe your sistem is infected, the noises you hear can be the virus
shutting down your hard drive (the heads parking can do that noise).

try to download a install an less know anti-virus

but be carefull, this clamav can't clear infected files, only delete them,
but it wont delete any files without your "yes"
