My understanding is that the most effective AV strategy is to detect a
virus when it first arrives. Some say that if that fails then after
the fact detecting may not work. While you might want to download AVG
the free AV program, I don't think it will be very good after the
fact. The only solution I know of is maybe System Restore if you have
XP. The last ditch solution is to reinstall everything, OS and all the
software, AFTER reformatting the drive. Anything else could probably
leave a virus on the machine. But you may not actually have a virus. I
think that one can only be certain that a problem is due to a virus is
by detecting a specific virus.
I have never been hacked or had a virus but my solution for
performance degradation is the same one described above. And I prepare
for that possibility by cloning my C partition using Norton Ghost.
Then when I feel the need I just reverse clone C so that the original
clone is now the C partition.
