Are you a geek when you can tell if a virus...

[Santilli]

is on your machine, just by the way it sounds?

I'm getting really good at hearing programs, or virus', that are downloaded onto my machine, just by the way the hard drives sound.

Just picked off a "noshutdown" program...

:mrgrn:

Blows smoke off the top of the the 6 inch, 45 long colt revolver, and spins it into his pocket...

Yes. :roll:

Just how does it sound, Greg? More disk thrashing?

 

[Santilli]

A little more thrashing...

But, it's the time of the thrashing.

Indexing sort of thrashes about a bit, but when I'm usually not doing anything.

It's just little, random seeks, or extra activity, that you know you are not causing, and, I know 2000 well enough that I know it doesn't have anything to do...

When ever I get suspicious, I run Penicillin, that free virus program, and it usually verifys where, and what it is..
