Viral Paranoia

If you think you have a virus just don't panic.  This will never do any good.  Keep in mind that you are neither the first nor the last person who has gotten a computer virus.  There are also many other problems, besides a virus, that could contribute to a computer malfunction.  Computers can have worse things happen to them than getting a virus.

If you are not sure whether or not you have a virus, try to find help.  Try calling support or a technical help line to see if it could be a computer malfunction.  Many times it is not even a virus causing the problem.
