I have a problem with my computer, and I really need some expert
help-----

Periodically, maybe every 30 minutes sometimes, or sometimes only 3
minutes apart, the computer speakers produce a rogue--

dit-dita-dit-dit, dit-dit-dit-dit

Now I have run spybot, and anti-virus, and nothing shows up as a
problem.

Sometimes it seems like there are variations in the sound level as
compared to the last time.
Almost like it is being transmitted, and if not aimed right, the power
level would be different each time.

I had it appear once when I had a 30 mhz portable phone by the computer,
and I was dialing.

This following part will sound paranoid, but you would have to meet my
neighbor---------

There is a **real** screwy character who lives behind me, and I think he
is a school counseler. Could he have gotten such a device from some of
his students? Something that transmits a signal? I mean, this guy goes
out of his way **real** hard to be an absolute pri*k.
Sometimes, he is fiddling around by his patio door (facing toward my
home), when I hear it from my computer.

It just did it again while I was typing right now. This time it was much
louder than usual.

He even gets mad if I turn on my 40 watt light bulb above my printer,
and the light shines out my back window. He starts flashing his
spotlights on and off for 4 to 5 hours (aimed horizontal right at our
house windows)--Image, a 50 year old guy doing this until 1:45 AM. We
have lived here 39 years, they moved in 4 years ago, and raise hell at
anything anyone does. Even mean screwy spotlight games.

How can I find out if this is a virus, which may look into my private
files, or the **character** behind me who possibly has access to stuff
that students may dream up? I have a shortwave set, usual frequencies,
to possibly check for a transmission, but I would need to know what
frequency, if these things even exist at all.

The other thing is just simply a virus that has embedded for about 10
months now.

Anyone got any ideas?

I need to determine what I have, if it is a virus that could disclose my
file information, or if its just the stupid idiot behind me.
Anyone ever heard of this? Is there a newsgroup that I should address
this to?
It's been there for about 9 months, No one has had a problem with
anything "attached "to any post I have ever sent.

I wonder if it is transmitted through the air? (by my neighbor?)

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks----
Ron
Please, no ufo or martian stuff-----I really need help on this one----
Thanks-----


This is masterful! There's absolutely no way I can tell if it's a put-on
or not.

At the risk of looking like an idiot, I'll give a serious answer: That
is obviously a local ham (or anyone else owning a device capable of
transmitting morse codeIwhose signal is being picked up by your computer
or its speakers, or the wiring between them.

Leonard


Oh sure blame the ham LOL Could also be a number of other things in
cluding duch mundane things as thermostats and wireless door bells. But
yeah blame the "ham" LMFAO
