Hello,

None of the researchers can give you a definitive answer because
there's no way to directly check your computer, but I can recommend a
great free online virus scanner and cleaner which can do the job for
you! Quite possibly the best free online virus scanner and cleaner is
HouseCall by Trend Micro. I've used it numerous times when I'm caught
at a friend's house and there's no other virus scan available to me.
It's fast and easy, and all you have to do to get started is visit the
link below and click on the URL below. Good luck!


Search Strategy:

Thank you for the opportunity to answer your question, if you require

answer satisfactory, please feel free to rate it. Thank you!

I suggest a different free, online virus checker: Symantec Security
Check. Symantec is the company that offers Norton AntiVirus. Go to
http://www.sarc.com/ and follow the "Check for security risks" link;
as I see the page, it's an image near the page's middle, on the right
side. On the next page, follow "Check for Viruses".
