Laptop Making Beep Sound
I have a popup screen that says I have a virus. The speakers are beeping and in the popup screen they want me to click OK to fix this problem. I have not done that yet because I think it is a trick. This popup only comes up when I do a search with the Bing popup bar. With searches with internet explorer on MSN I get no virus popup and no beeping. Only get the popup when doing a search on Bing. I tried restarting the laptop but the virus popup is still there along with the beeping. If I turn the speaker off the beeping stops but the virus popup window is still there. I can't X it out either but I can minimize it. My MacAfee scan says I have no virus. Any help or ideas on what to do would be appreciated. I have a Dell laptop with windows 10 on it. Again this popup and beeping only come up when I do a search using Bing.
When computers did not come with speakers, System Beeps were a useful way to warn us when there were any system errors or hardware errors, and were rather helpful in troubleshooting issues. But today, there is no real need for these beeps – but they continue to be included in every Windows release. While they may be of use to some, many find it irritating and may want to disable them.
This post will tell you how to disable system beeps in Windows 10/8/7, via Control Panel, Regedit, Device Manager and CMD.

It's generally bad when your computer won't start; it's often worse when it won't start and it starts beeping at you. A computer that won't start and makes beeping sounds is experiencing a malfunction severe enough to prevent the system from booting up. My laptop (Acer Aspire S5-391 with Windows 10 Home 64 bit) makes an annoying beep sound whenever I plug or unplug the charger, which I'd like to disable. The following solutions I found in the linked question and in other places did not work for me: My BIOS doesn't provide a setting for power control beep.
