SCAN your Computer. ASAP.

Always SCAN your computer. And defragment the hard drive to avoid slow performance.

I always thought that I was pretty safe having McAfee membership (free, provided by Comcast), but unfortunately it wasn't quite the case.

My father recommended that I use Sytem Mechanic Professional 7 (it comes with Kaspersky Anti-Hacker virus protection), so I installed them and I did a thorough scan of my computer to find that I have 18 Trojan virus in my computer (soon, they're disinfected and deleted).

Their website is http://www.iolo.com

Therefore, my advice as a beginner, have more than one virus protection ready, so that you can rotate the usage of them. You'll never know what you can find in your computer when you think you're safe. Also, scan your computer religiously especially if you have internet connection.

Have a good day everyone!
