I attempted to run the following scans:

Symantec
Panda
F-Secure
Housecall

My laptop is a Toshiba and I'm lucky if it runs for an hour before automatically shutting off. Seems as though this is a common problem with this brand - something about the CPU overheating. I have it sitting on a fan made for that purpose, and that helps a bit, but not always.

As a result, I couldn't complete any of the scans, however I did make some notes of what they did find.

Panda had found 15 infected files before my computer shut down (13 of those were in the registry). Symantec had found 9. Upon rebooting, F-Secure found none and Housecall found four (3 Java.Bytever.B and 1 Java.Bytever.G), but again, my comptuer shut down before I could finish.

The good news is that with every reboot after the initial steps you gave me to clean my computer, there were no viruses found by my AVG like I usually see upon reboots.

I'll try scanning again in the morning - sometimes the laptop does better after resting overnight.
