My mac makes a soft bling noise (never did before) when I reopen my computer. I took a screen shot of my activity monitor but I am not good at computer skills. I cannot figure out how to copy/paste it here. I feel so stupid.

You should start a new thread, really as this is a two-year-old dormant conversation.

Macs always make a soft chord (C major first inversion, I think!) when they are powered up. You will always hear this, unless the sound is muted. If you mean something else, like this happens when it wakes from sleep or you open the lid?
It's unlikely that spyware would advertise itself in this way, of course. If you have other programs running -- iMessage, Notification Centre, Mail -- these may make beeps when newly activated after sleep.
