Try downloading AVG anti-virus  and Spybot Search and Destroy.  Both are free programs, and should find and delete any malicious viruses/spyware that you have on your pc/laptop.

Just be sure to turn em all off when you boot up AH or you risk an unpleasant trip to the desktop in the middle of a fight.

If you can invest in Anti-Virus protection I would recommend ESET NOD32 Anti-Virus.

If you can, please invest in the following:

Anti-Virus: NOD32

Anti-Spyware: Ad-Aware 2007

Anti-Rootkit: AVG Anti-Rootkit Free
