OKAY, I didnt want to get rid of the sound at all because it didnt bother me when I clicked on things, “BUT” I must either have a TROJAN HORSE that is making it click randomly “or” the Internet Explorer is downloading COOKIES and making that clicking noise.. What is annoying tho is that I hear it click randomly about 5 times every 20 seconds without touching the mouse…SO, whatever problem is going on, whatever problem is making it do the clicking noise, will still be there, I just wont be able to hear it….SO, either do a virus search or stop a cookies(this works, but cannot visit many sites without alowing cookies)

I actually enjoy the clicking sound. It feels empty and awkward without hearing. like I’m just barely hovering over the internet instead of actually being inmmersed in it. Maybe it’s because I never listen to music or anything while I browse.

Thank you! You have no idea (or perhaps you do!) just how big and nasty a headache you have delivered me from. One can only take so much motrin, after all, without blowing a kidney.

Gratitude, dude. Gratitude.

Thanks! Why does IE do that anyway? It just goes to show how out of touch the company is.

thank you! i love fire fox but if i ever have to use ie i cannot stand that clicking sound. sometimes you wonder how hard microsoft works on this crap they put out. i am a windows guy but if we ever had a pc that used open source that worked as good as firefox, i would never use microsoft again.

ok, just for keep it updated, I had the same problem with the “clicking” sound, even with the iexplorer closed. So I turned off the sound for that action, but …there might be a reason for that. So, I tried hijack this, but it discovered nothing. Finally I tried the latest Malicious removal tool from MS (July 09) and it found a trojan downloader: win32/renos.FJ and then removed it. So, since that, the annoying clicking sound its gone.

@Clay Ouch – come on Netflix – play nice with other browsers :)

Yes, thanks for the instructions, those are some really, really, really STUPID SOUNDS. And to answer your question about why I’m still using IE, Netflix requires it to watch their instant movies. How lame is that? Normally I use Firefox for everything else.

Very useful information. Thanks.

The sound played by navigating the web through IE is very annoying. I do not have choice to use it because my favorite online music station cannot play on FireFox.

Thanks again.
