    Follow this link for some Anti-virus software and freeware. Download and run then RE-start your laptop. Surely AVG or Avast will pick up any Nasties that you may have. Folllow the prompts and don't forget to do a restart afterwards. All viruses should be gone? Yes?

    Cheers.

    EDIT: Spelling.
