Right now im typing this on my old asus laptop. Previously in many of my posts... there would be words where its highlighted in blue such as you could click on it. Example right now i have the same webpage this one opened on my sager laptop. I see the words monitors, reinstall and new computer in blue where you could click on it. Example you highlight it, it has an ad for Comtia jumpstart your career but when you highlight it, bottom shows

STRANGELY ENOUGH... i don't see this on my asus laptop anymore. And another VERY STRANGE THIS IS... my asus laptop hasn't beeped much at all lately.
Malwarebytes show no problems. Superantisoftware found 117 tracking cookies. I have no idea how i have this much as all i done is visit the main sites to download and google and few computer sites like this one. I do check ebay and amazon though. Also strangely enough... my asus laptop isn't beeping at all. That makes no sense. Whats strange is it seemed like once the sager laptop started beeping, the asus laptop never beep anymore and this is just very recently. Do you think theres any coincidence to this? Previosly my asus laptop beeps very much and it beeps many different ways such as beeping one at a time or beeping 2-3 times at once etc.
This sager laptop beeps once, then again then again but usually like 10 second or a bit longer after each one. But now there are 2 beeps very quickly as well. I however did click on a link from someone in another forum that showed up as a api.viglink. So after I did that, The first thing i immediately did was open my new sager laptop and plug the usb into it so i could see every password i have for my sites so i could log into most of them and then change the passwords immediately. I then changed my passwords for many of those many sites then changed the password for each site setting on the openoffice page. I recalled at that time, i still didnt have any beeps on my new sager laptop. I believe it was the following day when i noticed a few beeps in my new laptop which got me a bit worried but i didn't think that much about it. It wasn't until today when i noticed i had tons of beeping on this laptop.
Do you think there is any chance that could have caused it or not? The thing is i read hackers can infect usb hard drives but the thing is when i clicked on that link, i still had lot of documents saved on that asus laptop such as passwords in my documents thats still there. Then when i thought about it for a while, i went on new sager laptop and change password for lot of sites. During this time however since i clicked on that link, i never had that usb flash drive in that asus laptop though. Thus i didnt have the flash drive on the asus laptop on that day it happneed. So if thats the case, then this couldn't have caused the beeping right?
I also like to mention that both my 2.0 and 3.0 usb flash drives have autorun.inf on it and i read that could be a sign usb flash drive is infected. So im wondering could it be because i plugged a usb flash drive into the sager laptop few days ago which could have a virus in it. However from what i read, the beeping sound is almost always malware. Is this true? Also these beeps are regular beeps when the computer is on... wehther im doing nothing or browsing. Its not the beeps that you get when you start up the computer.
This has gotten me very perplexed. I was going to do a clean resintall of my old asus laptop until i saw my new laptop got this beeping sound.
