Well, if you suspect you have a virus, the best thing to do is to get virus protection. Unless you want to do it the old fashion way and reboot (not restart) your computer, but you really won't need to do that unless it's a major virus that anti-virus can't kill, plus you can lose files that way. There are some free anti-virus protection software. One is called AVG it should be free, I recommend getting it off a trusted site like Cnet. NOTE: When you get virus protection, make sure you don't another virus protection enabled with it, it can mess up your computer, so make sure all virus protections are uninstall before downloading a new one.
