Heh, made this just so I could be the first to post in this section.
If you suspect you have a virus infection, the following steps may help you.
Download Hijackthis, run a scan, then save the log somewhere.
Make sure you don't remove anything if you don't know what you are doing.
More information on this tool here.
Download and run MalwareBytes. Make sure you update before running any scans. Save the log somewhere.
Remove any infected files. A reboot may be necessary.
More information on this tool here.
Post both logs in [code] format here and some friendly people like me will come help you analyze it.
Of course, if you still are paranoid, run online virus scans. A simple Google search showed them.
