squeeking sound 2002 taurus

I dont not know a lot about cars, but I know I just bought this car in aug.2004, it had 80,000 miles, I am not over my exspended warrenty miles. My car is making a squeeking noise coming from the passengers side, its the belt that makes a figure 8, I dont know what it is, but I know I am terrified to take it in. I hate all this car stuff!! What do you think the noise is?!

It is most likely the belt, especially if it has not been changed yet. Should be less than or around $100 to take it in to a shop. Belts are not covered under warranty.
