Re: Hard drive activity LED.

Hi

What computer (brand/model) do you have?

It's possible you have a malware infection.
Run Kaspersky's online scanner to check for malware.
The online scan needs to install an ActiveX component before it can run.
The installation has to be accepted by you - click the screen (see below).
