About a month ago, an annoying water droplet sound showed up on my
computer. It only "blops" when I'm surfing. I thought it was sound of
the popups being blocked from my Google Toolbar, but that's turned
off. I've tried everything I know to do. I have all of my sounds
turned off. I also did a search on my computer for a water droplet wav
file, with no results. The sound is driving me crazy, and is so
invasive. I've searched the internet over and over again, but can find
nothing about it. Do you have any idea what it is, and how to get rid
of it?

Clarification of Question by sparkynme-ga on 27 May 2004 12:05 PDT

Thank you very much anyway, but nevermind. I found out what it was! I
installed PestPatrol about a month ago, and that's when the droplet
sound started. As it turns out, it's PestPatrol's CookiePatrol, named
"cookiecrunch"!  If you right click the PestPatrol icon in your
startup tray you'll see CookiePatrol. Just click 'disable sound':
Here's what PestPatrol says about it:

..... No need to block all cookies just to block some, the way your
browser would have it. And no need to block blindly, disabling your
ability to access certain sites, the way some personal firewalls would
have it. CookiePatrol allows the cookie to be created, satisfying the
web site that gave it to you. And then it destroys the cookie,
satisfying your need for privacy.

Complete transparency. You won't be annoyed every time a cookie is
blasted. No blinking, popping or snorting. Just quiet death to
cookies.

Easy assessment of what's been blasted, and when you got it. Just
check the logs, and you'll see the cookies that have been blasted, and
the time they came in (and died!).

No conflict with other software or security settings. 

Need not be loaded at boot time. When run, finds all spyware cookies,
blasts them, then keeps them gone.

Easy management through the PestPatrol Control Terminal.

Now I can surf in peace!

Hi, sparkynme--

Now that you've answered your own question, you might want to cancel
it.  While it's still open, a researcher can still post an answer. 
You probably don't want to pay a fee when you don't need the answer
any longer.
