Strange random click...
recently my computer has been making random click noises, the same sound as when you click a link or open a file, it just does it at random intervals and i have no idea why.
im sure im clean of any malware and im sure that many people will just tell me to turn the sound off but i would like to know why its making this noise.
thanks

You stated the computer is making the clicking noises, so I must assume these sounds are not coming from the speakers. If speakers, then disregard what I wrote above.
You might consider completely uninstalling your sound drivers (sound device drivers) and reinstalling.
Thanks for the suggestion, ill do that if i start to miss that infamous click...
It makes the same noise randomly even if im not using the computer and its not doing anything...
Its strange...
Obviously disabling the sound in the control panel will keep it from sounding, but I'm curious about what may be causing it since whatever caused it is still there.
I recently had the same problem and after a lot of research learne that I had a trojan virus (forget the name of it now). I verified it through task manager (it was a running process). I downloaded Superantispyware from http://www.superantispyware.com/ and it deleted the trojan for me and I haven't had any futher problems. Adaware, Spybot and AVG did not find this trojan (which suprised me). The clicking sounded like I was changing pages on my browser. Hope this helps.
erm in my startup list is all full of normalstuff like my antivirus componants and nvidia tray tools, java etc. there is one thing which im unsure about. its just blank. no name or command. What could it be?
Intermittently clicking from the speakers no rhyme or reason.
The speakers were not magnetically shielded speakers.
I got magnetically shielded speakers and no more clicking.
It would only do it if the phone was near the computer.
