Default Hidden program

How do I detect and remove a program that is
intermittently running in the background and slowing my PC
down? I cannot find it anywhere, but I can hear it every
few minutes.

A process monitor will allow you to see all processes (not just programs) in
real time.

Just because you can hear it doesn't mean that there is a program running.
For instance, it could be an activity built into the hardware of the disk
drive.
