A colleague and I discovered that the computer that had the drivers for the printer was not connected to the printer. He switched the towers so that he could access the printer. What he discovered was that the tower with the drivers for the printer had a virus. We found out that the computer has Symantec on it so he ran an upgrade from online .A while ago he went to use the computer again and was checking for the virus to find out if it is gone. What is happening now is that a red light is blinking and the computer is emitting an annoying beep. Is this normal when a diagnostics is being run? How can we get rid of this annoyance and debug the computer?Please help me urgently .

a beep is usually because of a hardware problem or a timing error in the bios ..

maybe isn't the virus but the temperature of the system that makes the pc to emit the beeps... check out when you restart the computer the temperature level and if is shown on red enter the bios and modify the alarm level of temperature to a higher one.

Beeps or beep codes as they are called are bios system indicators. They are trying to warn you of a problem, usually hardware oriented. Check the link below for further info.
