Odd Behavior (weird popup sounds)

[XsinX]

I recently returned from vacation and left my PC in the care of my little brother. I cant say I wasnt surprised to find something wrong with the PC. He even put LimeWire on it and he knows I hate that stuff.after a while my PC then started acting weird, I would hear a click and then a bunch of repeated pops as if there were popups coming up, but no popups and its still happening as I type this. Aside from the annoying sound it also minimizes my applications such as my games and it sometimes causes my programs to freeze and crash. I am a brute when it comes to fixing computers. I have ran Spybot and have found a few things such a DoubleClick, FastClick, and a few others which I cant remember the names of but maybe these are causing the problems, and they keep returning after a little while. Here is a HJT log. Im not sure whats wrong with this and I wouldnt be surprised if there is a giant mess in there. If you can please help me to fix this up it would make this alot easier on me.
Thank You (sorry for the essay)
