I’m getting an ‘explosion sound’ when I log on to Explorer or l shut down at the end of the day. That is to say: I turn the computer on, I enter the password, the tiles crop up, I click on the ‘start’ tile which shows my desktop and the ‘taskbar’ where the Explorer icon is located. I press the Explorer icon, and then the explosion sound occurs. I think it is an invasion from a virus of some kind–only in the past month has this happened. How do I get rid of it, how do I find it’s source. And yes, my sounds from the control panel is turned off..
I don’t know what kind of virus could produce a sound like that. If you have antivirus software installed, do a thorough scan to see what it turns up. If you do not have antivirus software, we have recommended several excellent programs both free and paid.

Hi,
I use a HP Elite desktop with Win7 Home for a couple years and slowly programs have stopped working.
Started with Office 2007 Word, then Excel, then I couldn’t Preview pictures, then some programs wouldn’t install.
I use Kingsoft AV and keep it updated and run ComboFix and Malwarebytes with nothing found
So I’ve re-formated my drive and reinstalled Win7 and have everything installed again,
except Office 2007 won’t go past a a few seconds, then stop with an error that it doesn’t show.
So do you think I can figure out why it doesn’t install using the Event Viewer ?
If yes, how ?
thanks
