Well it was a virus.. in fact the same one nerd thought it could be. My harddrive was clicking because it was becoming full and because half the programs were missing and being encrypted. Once it did it to most of them and I used my computer it would "skip" is what the tech called it. He said what it was doing was rewriting itself because the fact i would move things over to my other drive and free up space it had already written to. Luckily we caught it in time. Because the skipping would have damaged the drive. (that's something I will have to replace my drive for because this brand does tend to skip when it's more than 7/8 full Storm
