That's the reason I use Avast free. It will alert you IMMEDIATELY of a virus and ask you to abort your connection. Download Avast and allow it to do a bootscan on reboot and move all it finds to the chest. See if that helps. Also try Spybot S&D and be sure to immunize. If you use Ccleaner slim before avast and spybot it will clean out lots of excess junk and the scans will be quicker. All these progs are listed in my signature link. Good Luck
