there is a virus that detects your webcam and views you... it may be this, but i'm not sure if it takes pictures? but if it did it wouldn't make a sound... does it make the sound if your speakers aren't on.. because if so something may be loading?

have you tried to search google for anything similar to this... it might help you... if not then I would search norton or something... I doubt its anything serious, otherwise it would have been detected... try uninstalling and reinstalling msn and plus :p
