i have not ran the spybot yet but i will disable or uninstall kaspersky when i do.i'm prompted by windows defender that is has been stopped and will only run intermittently now. on another note, when i got home my pc was on and inside my tower was a whistle sound...horn type alarm maybe? my pc wasn't waking up to the usual commands such as any key and mouse clicks. i had to unplug my tower to get it to reboot and come on with windows up. just curious about the alarm sound...any ideas?

I know by design Windows Defender will not open to run in the presence of another antivirus on the machine.
As for Kaspersky, you'll have to make a decision which antivirus to keep, running 2 at once wont work.

Now, for the noise the computer is making, this doesn't sounds good. I have no clue why it would do that other then something is about to go out?

Give it a day and let's see if those noises stop. I'm inclined to say I really don't think it will stop but rather it will get worse.

it may be a fan motor? i had one do this before but that was over 10 years ago. seems best i remember is one of the fans quit and i had to replace it. the "tone" which best describes the sound quit once i unplugged my pc and plugged it back in.

well, you know more then me. With what I have starts making those sounds, I'm calling the fire department

If there are no more malware problems I think your good to go.

Thank you so much!, Happy Holidays to you and your family too.

If sometime it doesn't turn on or the noises get really loud and you smell smoke.....it might just be you need a new hard drive.
