Hi.

I have a Toshiba laptop running XP.

I downloaded a virus, and I'm not sure what to do. I have AVG and it deleted some spyware junk, but didn't detect any viruses. I then ran BitDefender and it detected 5 viruses, and supposedly deleted them.

My dvd drive isn't detected, so I can't even reformat (which I would have only done as a last resort anyway).

I deleted the file that I believe contained the virus.

What should I do? I'm not sure what info you need, but please inform me how to give you whatever info you need.

Thank you so much.
