I think I may have unwittingly acquired a virus.
It all started when I clicked on an image to view it on a larger screen (a safe image, mind you). When I tried to close it, it multiplied by two. When I clicked on another tab, it wouldn't let me open it and then it multiplied again.
I force quit firefox, but then I began to hear a continuous "flipping" sound, as if someone was rapping on my computer from the inside.
I disconnected all drives, but it continued.
I reset my computer (via apple-reset). Not only did the flipping sound continue, but my login screen shook continuously; as if I was mashing the keyboard and pressing enter as fast as I could.
On top of all this, I saw the screen show my password hint, and then my master password hint.
Does anyone know what's going on??
