Type in Norton Online Scan in your search bar. Go there and allow it to scan your PC and see if you have been infected.
Your PC should not be on the Internet without some kind of virus protection.

I wouldn't use my computer without virus protection or spyware protection. Period!!!I got a virus about 6 months ago, Scarry...
My screen went red a big skull white popped up with cross bones in middle of it. took awhile to get rid of it.
other type of virues that I've read about will take over E-mails and send to all your contacts of ads of all types by the hundreds.
others can get into checking accounts and passwords.
some times you'll have these virus's for over a month until you click on a certain program, Zap then you'll know.
I've heard this happened to some one with some type of worm trojan or simular. was playing on computer and hundreds of worms appeared on screen eating at recycling bin and all the icons on screen, at same time wiped out every thing on hard drive drive too. Lesson learned? Buy the programs It's woth it, every penny and make back ups of things you value...

I think you really need some antivirus program. If you're computer often hangs, then it is virus infected. Also, when you use yahoo messenger, and you keep on sending messages you didn't actually send, it is again infected. Third, in some cases, when you open your browser, it would often close and you'll have a hard time surfing the net. Please just get a antivirus utility. Mine is AVG. That's good. And of course, always keep it updated.

Piece of advise, DON'T EVER surf the net without an anti-virus installed in your pc. Try using Kaspersky Internet Security 7 for safer internet surfing and please don't use IE browsers cause you will be more prone to viruses, try using Firefox 3.

Your pc may have a virus if it is running a lot slower than normal, advertisements spontaneously appear out of nowhere, you get a blue screen. Things like that. It is good to have anti-virus software on your computer. I reccomend AVG beacause it is free. Go to http://free.avg.com/. .

if you dont have antivirus and you want to know if computer is infected then followin are the symptoms.

1. degraded pc performance
2. system/ software hangs frequently
3. you loos you data files or found it corrupted.

there is one more technique - from memory debug command you can check wheather computer is infected or not but left it for engineers.

meanwhile get free antivirus software and install to avoid your pc getting infected.

if the symptom of one computer is likely the same with the other computer, it means the virus infected in the system.

Virus can be transfer by click the folder or un recognized folder if you accidentally
click it means the computer you are using is also infected with the virus.

You must installed the kaspersky anti-virus to avoid this possible situation
