A good way to know if there's a virus on your P.C. is if there are anomalous entries on your startup menu.
Start-Run-Msconfig-Startup
Most PCs run just fine without anything checked besides loadpowerprofile and systemtray. All those other entries on there are something you may wanna know more about.
This is how I found a virus the other day...
I think it was called cmd.exe and i got it from kazaa most likely...
I've removed a few viruses from my PC and I don't use any kind of norton or macaffe software
