A few things here
1. You cannot get a virus through an ICQ url
2. You cannot get a virus through a normal web page.  It just can't happen.
You would have to download something and run it.
3. Where are the beeps coming from?  If it's just the little internal PC
speaker, then it would be your keyboard.
