I apologize, this was not any friend of mine, nor can I imagine him being anyone's friend, although I imagine he would say the same of me. This was allegedly the manager of the nearest computer repair place. I updated my original post to include that.
I live with roommates and they only shed garbage and noise. To the best of my knowledge, none of that is stuck inside my computer. I just used a can of compressed air to blow out my fan, I just saw a mist come back out. I am pretty sure I already did that.
My friends told me that my hard drive was probably moving the read heads, anticipating a crash.
I was in-town a week or two ago and then drove back up to my mom's. I forgot the charger for this laptop. I also brought two old laptops. I started using my dad's laptop, which worked great, once I removed the malware. However, when I drove down yesterday, I forgot his charger, as well as the one charger that I brought for the two old laptops--they are both Asus, with interchangeable chargers and batteries. I bought a universal charger previously, so now that I can use Dad's laptop, I will take mine to a computer store that has been around at least a decade.
