Default Hard drive constantly busy.

Hello friends,
The other day my security software indicated that it had caught something while surfing the internet. I use ZoneAlarm Security Suite.
When I clicked the treatment button, ZoneAlarm replied the file wasn't present. Subsequent scans with ZoneAlarm anti virus, and anti spyware, as well as Spy Sweeper, and SUPER AntiSpyware have revealed nothing.
What worries me is it now seems that my hard drive is constantly busy, not frantically busy, but just constantly working. I also notice the ZoneAlarm traffic indicator is always showing traffic. I haven't noticed any slowing of performance or anything.
I have recently installed some accounting software (Quickbooks), so I don't know if that could be causing the drive to work all the time.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I am not 100% sure but it could be that your hard drive needs to be replaced.

Hello again,how are you?

Could you post screen shots of what prosess are running in task manager?Or list them.

Do you mean the led light on the front of your computer is repidly flickering all the time?

If you close any tasks and just watch the light does it filcker slower or just the same after a few minutes?
