There are several companies that allow you to scan your computer for free, and remove any viruses found. These are great for second opinions, that is if you think your virus protection is not working correctly and especially if you don't have any at all. You can find a list of some free scanners on my web site under internet resouces and here is a few more.

For those of you that are interested in more detail on viruses/worms and such, this is one of the most informative web sites I have ever found http://www.infosyssec.org/
So check them out. If you having trouble booting into windows to run one of the scans, boot to safe mode with networking, by pressing the F8 key repeatively when you fist turn on your computer. This will allow you to bypass alot of files and still be able to get on the internet to run a few scans.
Good Luck
