Computer Problems...

Eh, I'm having computer problems at the moment. Well...

1. At some times, my computer starts to make this giant BEEP noise. It continues for like 1-3 minutes. Sometimes even longer. Why is this? The voice card or something? It started this morning...

2. And, hmm... Second problem. I just ran AntiVir, it detected two viruses. It said that the another one was stored in the file twaintec.cab... Is this a important file, or can I delete it safely? And, oh yeah... It said that the virus name is TR/Krepper.C, how bad is that as a virus?

Eh, I'll post if more problems show up.

Beeping can come from your motherboard, which will mean something. The beeps depend on what is listed in the manual. Most likely the computer is overheating.

The twaintec.cab is probably your scanner drivers. Twain is the key word. You can delete the cab file for now. Krepper is a trojan horse that can take over your computer, but the risk is low.
