You could be mad... or it could be a virus.. could still be in the master boot record if you didn't fdisk it....
or you could be using a macintosh ... sad mac etc.

Press Ctrl-Alt-Del when sounds occur, try to spot it...

Updating your antivirus software is a must, if you have had an infected email you will probably get another.

Agree with comments above about deleting & repartitioning the drive using fdisk to ensure a completely clean disk. But antivirus software may save you the trouble...
