does my laptop have a virus?

a trojan horse is not a virus, it is a malicious program, intended to take control of your computer, or the informations in it.\nanyway if your computer has an infection, deleting files will not help, nor restoring(in windowsXP)in fact, you should disable windows restore before scanning for viruses.\ntry restoring the computer with the disks provided by the manufacturer, which usually formats the hard disk, and cleans everything. after doing this, if your computer, still freezes, or shutdown, it could be a hardware problem.\noverheating can be the cause of the problem, use your laptop on a straight hard surface, pay attention to not closing any air outlet ,and dont ever use it over the bed or soft surfaces.

each virus is different, so you'd need to know which one it was...or know in-depth how your os works (and that is a book, not a post at yahoo answers)

You may have a trojan. go to www.antivirus.com\nand do the free computer scan, and i swear to you. that if there is anything on your computer that shouldnt be there. This will find it and get rid of it.

Even though your particular virus scan did not pick anything up, your computer is still badly infected. No single one virus scanner can detect 100% of all viruses and other malware !00% or the time. \n\nI would suggest that you try both of these free on-line scans (no download needed)\n\n1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender\n\nhttp://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/\n\n2. Scan for trojans and remove (free online scan) with Ewido\n\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/\n\nGood luck.

I suggest that you  try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus. The problem is likely to be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software  and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at\nhttp://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html

Not all scripts are viruses. Examine the applications that start upon Windows boot and decide is there an aplication that couls seem as a virus :)\n\nAslo check the AV app settings to see for some usefull options :)

Hard to tell - these things can be so tricky. Do you think someone installed it on your computer?? I would take it to Circuit City or something - apparently they can do things to clean it and they would know this answer I am sure. Otherwise, try to go to a site where there is a form about computer viruses and see if you can ask someone.

Make sure the program is open (start > all programs > mcafee - or something similar) then make sure VirusScan is enabled (right click the icon in the system tray- bottom right corner- click enable)\n\nHope this Helps!

If you find some software on your computer and you don't know how you got it there go to www.pcpitstop.com and run their computer test on your machine. It should tell you what it is and how to get rid of it if it's anything malicious.

almost do have virus in it, but this is what you do, just download it first without running it, then use your antivirus to scan it before running it.
