A friend introduced me to a great little anti-virus program called AVG. It is a free download that you can get at grisoft.com. From what I have seen that makes this program different from some of the more well known anti-viruses is that the other programs look for known viruses. AVG looks for characteristics that are common in viruses. You have to tell it to “use heuristics” to do this but it is easy to find in the control center.

I have put this program on 2 computers. Both computers had existing anti-virus programs on them. Before installing the program on both computers I upgraded the existing anti-virus and ran it. Both programs found 0 viruses. When AVG was installed, updated and ran it found 3 viruses on 1 computer and over 5000 on the other computer. All of the viruses appeared to be from a virus called the love letter and copied files form the computer and added the extension “.vbs” on it.

Try this to find out if there is a virus on your computer. I also have a program that is a Trojan hunter that but do not have that link handy. If this does not fix your issue I will hunt for the link to that download.
