Undetected Virus

[John Williams]

I have a virus (or worm etc.) on my WinXP laptop which randomly causes odd
things to happen on startup such as sounding a high pitch squeal like
microphone feedback or music thru the computer's speakers for a few seconds,
causing bubble messages which should appear in the lower right corner of my
screen to appear in the upper left corner instead, and placing a black
square icon in my tray.

Any help or suggestions as to where I can get help to find and remove this
virus would be appreciated.

I do have Norton Antivirus installed but it doesn't detect it.

Does anybody know of a place where one can enter the symptoms and get back
possible viruses?

Thanks in advance.

Before blouting about a "New" Virus:
Start trouble shooting with "Startuplist" downloadable from
http://www.merijn.org/downloads.html
And see if there is anything strange or suspicious showing up.

I downloaded and ran the program and got lots of good data. But, I can't
distinguish the good from the bad. I have no idea what half the stuff is.
I think I'm going for a clean install.

Thanks.
