Make your computer tell you when a program starts!

How do you know when an application has started without your knowing it? It happens quite often. A bad guy will take advantage of this and run something in the background where you do not see it. Spyware, mellware and viruses will do this so that they can keep hidden from you.
You can setup your computer to make a sound whenever a program starts up. In Windows XP and Vista you will click start, control panel, system then sounds. Look in the list and find Open Program. Click once on it to highlight it. Now you are able to choose the sound you want to hear whenever a program starts up. Keep in mind that when the computer starts up you will hear this sound multiple times.
In Windows 7 you will click start then control panel, click on hardware and sounds. Under sounds choose change system sounds.
Now you will know when a program is starting up. This is useful if you did not start the program you self.
