LOL, I've had this before. I had to completely wipe my laptop and restore it factory settings.

Good luck.

There is lots of different symptoms depending on what kind of virus it is, if you have decent anti virus software and firewall and scan regularly your computer should be fine.

Do you think you might have 1 on your computer?
